What is the Student Success Internship Program?

With funding from the University of California Office of the President, the Division of Student Affairs and the Office Undergraduate Education have developed an undergraduate project program called the Student Success Internship program. The program is focused at providing professional development opportunities within UC Merced campus departments. Undergraduate students will have the opportunity to gain professional experience to advance toward a career or graduate school setting. Students work with mentor-supervisor to develop professional skills and take an active role in creating, developing and engaging in projects within their assigned department.

The projects are centered on the UC Merced campus or its satellite locations. Participating departments design projects and designate a supervisor-mentor to guide and support the intern as they undertake professional and institutionally meaningful projects. The students will receive a stipend up to $3,000.
 

Who can participate?

Undergraduates who have been enrolled for at least one semester at the time of application with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA may participate. First semester transfer students are eligible. In addition, students must be in good standing academically and in terms of conduct, and be able to carry a full course load and still be able to complete the project experience.
