The Sears Endowment for Student Internships is made possible by the generous gift from the estate of Roy B. Sears, ‘42.  This endowment, along with additional funding provided by the Office of Career Development, has been established to assist students involved in an internship experience who might not otherwise be able to participate due to financial constraints.  Traditionally, stipends range from $500-$1200 per awarded student but may vary based on the discretion of the awards committee.  The Office of Career Development and Hampden-Sydney College fully supports its students who engage in experiential learning activities through internships, volunteerism and job shadow opportunities. 

Please Note: any international students who accept summer internships and/or Sears Endowment funding through Career Development need to see Ms. Mary Cooper regarding Curricular Practical Training (CPT) internship approval.
