You may be able to double the impact of your gift if your company has a matching gift program. Ask your human resources office to see if your employer matches gifts, and maximize the impact of your gift! In many cases you just need a gift receipt.
We can connect you with the best qualified students for your organization’s internship opportunities. Other opportunities include hosting an office visit or speaking engagement for our interns.
Do you know someone in your network who is interested in hosting and IES Intern? Let us know! Once the introduction is made, we’ll take it from there and keep you updated.
Email us to make an introduction.
College financial aid typically doesn’t apply to summer programs, so many students bypass the opportunity to participate in an internship. Your gift will provide more need-based aid to students seeking to intern abroad.
