Internship Opportunities

UCSD students interested in an internship must follow the same application process as volunteers.  However, interns must also submit a resume, Schedule of Classes (printed off of TritonLink), and TMC 198 Form, along with all Volunteer Application Documents for your school of interest (even if you are interning).  Instructions on what to include on the resume and Schedule of Classes is available in the "Downloads" section.  Please review “Instructions for Submitting a TMC 198 Application” before submitting paperwork.

The deadline to apply for an internship is the Friday of Finals week, the quarter BEFORE you wish to intern.  In some cases, applications are accepted through Week One of the quarter in which you wish to intern.  However, all applicants who meet the deadline will receive priority placement.  Late applications are accepted under special circumstances.

Preuss and GPA internship paperwork is to be submitted to the desk of the Provost Intern, Mariko Cavey, located in the Provost and Business Offices of the Marshall College Administration Building.  Lincoln volunteer paperwork is to be submitted to the Office of Program Coordinator, Evelyn Lucio, located in the Social Science Research Building, third floor, office 320.
