The Trailblazer Internship Scholarship
The Office of Experiential Learning began to provide scholarships to undergraduate students who were participating in unpaid internships in 2021. Since this time, and now in collaboration with the Center for Socioeconomic Mobility through Education (CSME), we have provided funding for unpaid internships for dozens of UNT Dallas students and have distributed over $164,000 in scholarships. This scholarship is intended to encourage students to participate in experiential learning opportunities that align with their career goals and help increase their post-graduation marketability.
The Office of Experiential Learning and the CSME have partnered with local organizations who are providing unpaid internships for our students. Interns will have an opportunity to receive a stipend for their participation (up to $4500) in an internship with the organizations below.
