- UR Libraries Summer Internships: Due February 7, 2025
The UR Libraries Summer Internship Program just posted 7 different listings for paid summer internships (~$15-20/hr) that also offer students on-campus room and board. The program specifies a preference for (not required) rising sophomores and juniors. As an intern within UR Libraries’ summer program (start May 27; work up to August 1; 8-10 weeks of work), students will benefit from a cohort experience, where peers reflect on and share their work but also socialize among and across fellow interns within the program and, as possible, across other summer programs. Students will benefit from mentoring via their manager, library leadership, and the Greene Career Center. If this sounds interesting, you can read more and apply here.
- Astronaut Scholarship: Nominations Due March 31, 2025 (Link)
The Astronaut Scholarship, founded in 1984 by the Mercury 7 astronauts, is open to exceptional rising juniors and seniors pursuing STEM degrees and has an award value of up to $15,000 per school year. In addition to the monetary value of the scholarship, the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation connects current Astronaut Scholars and Astronaut Scholar alum with mentorship and networking opportunities that go far beyond your average scholarship. Many Astronaut Scholars are offered internships and jobs in their disciplines due to the connections made by ASF. Some go on to grad school and some have even started their own businesses! If you have any questions you can look at the link above and reach out to Belinda Redden, Astronaut Scholarship Foundation university liaison, at belinda.redden@rochester.edu.
