Entrepreneurial Internship Program
For Employers
For new ventures who have not raised significant funding or generated significant revenue, who are not able to pay their interns, we offer two options:
- During the Fall and Spring semesters, students can apply to earn graded course credit for an internship that does not offer cash compensation.
- During the summer, DEC offers a limited number of Internship Grants through the career office that pays $4,500 per student for a 10-week summer internship.
Fall And Spring: Internship For Credit
For Fall and Spring, students have the option of taking an entrepreneurial internship under the supervision of a faculty member. They may receive 3 graded academic credits for 120 hours of work per semester. Students can take this course for credit a maximum of two times during their tenure at Tufts.
Summer: Entrepreneurial Internship Grant
For the summer, students who receive an offer for a 10-week long, 200 hour internship within an eligible entrepreneurial company may apply for a $4,500 Entrepreneurial Internship Grant through the Career Office’s summer grant program.
