The Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) and its partners, in collaboration with Virginia’s colleges and universities, are offering the Commonwealth STEM Industry Internship Program (CSIIP). CSIIP is a free student resource for finding paid spring, summer, and fall internships. Undergraduate students majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) disciplines complete a single application package that will be reviewed by companies throughout Virginia.
There is no cost to students, colleges/universities, or companies to participate.
Students may search for internships statewide or by region and can also express interest in specific internships posted by companies. No deadline is required but apply as early as possible for maximum opportunity, at www.CSIIP.org.
One application puts a student in front of more than 150 companies offering internships.
For more information please visit: www.csiip.org or contact VSGC regarding CSIIP at csiip@spacegrant.org or (757) 766-5210.
