Summer Internship Funding: 2023
The Baker Retailing Center Summer Internship Funding Program was created to support students who have accepted an internship for an organization that can be viewed as “retail with purpose.” More specifically, we are looking to help fund students who are forging their way in emerging markets, creating products that benefit underserved communities and finding innovative ways to advance social responsibility and prosocial retail initiatives.
This is for internships taking place between May-August. The deadline to apply is May 30, 2023.
