Lynk funding

��챬�� prepares students for lifelong success by connecting each Mount Holyoke student's academic work with practical applications of the liberal arts and sciences. One way in which we achieve this objective is by offering a funded summer internship or research opportunity to every student through the Lynk Summer Experience Program.

Process

The Lynk Program is student-initiated and begins early in the school year. The program supports each student to identify, secure, and succeed in a high-quality internship opportunity. If the opportunity secured by a student is unpaid, the student requests summer funding through the program. Students are welcome to work with employers to design new internships, or to use funding in support of a pre-established internship that they applied for and were offered.

To qualify for Lynk, the internship must be both substantive and relevant and take place between mid-May and mid-August. The internship should be at least 240 work hours during the summer, and be open to Sophomore and Junior students.
