Support a UMBC student's career success and ability to impact their community. Help us break down financial barriers and enable more UMBC students to pursue career-advancing applied learning opportunities!

Getting resume-building experience during college is a critical step in landing a great job after graduation, but many experiences are unpaid and—often—out of reach.

The UMBC Student Internship & Service Fund will support students participating in unpaid internships and service opportunities by offsetting living, transportation, and other expenses.

Unpaid experiences are offered in startups, nonprofits, arts organizations, media and communications, education, human services, and government. In recent years, 25 percent of UMBC students reported having unpaid internships.

And, you can double your impact to the Student Internship & Service Fund! Your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000 by UMBC. If you and 199 UMBC alumni, students, family members and friends each donate $50, we will meet that goal. 

Your generous support today will truly impact a student's future. Read a feature story about the 2018 Student Internship & Service recipients here. Be sure to drop a comment; we would love to hear how internships and service-learning have impacted you.

Thank you, in advance, for your support!
