FAQS

I have many more questions about the Internship Program. Who can I talk to?
Please contact Greg Seiler.

Do I need to interview for the internship?
Host employers and students are encouraged to meet via Zoom or other video call service for an interview. This is an opportunity for the employer to learn more about the student intern and for the student intern to learn more about the position and ask for any clarifications about the work involved. Make sure you understand the role and responsibilities before you accept an offer.

Can I apply to more than one internship position?
Students can apply to up to 5 total SPRINT summer 2025 opportunities.

What are the working hours? Is the internship in-person or hybrid?
The internship should be the student’s primary activity over the summer. Hours may vary by employer. Interns are required to work the entire duration of the internship with any days off approved in advance by a supervisor. It’s a good idea to ask about working hours and work format during the interview process.

Every employer is different with respect to in-person work. Some employers may require student interns to work in the office full time while others may allow for some remote days.

Can I change the dates of the internship or extend the internship dates?
Any changes must be approved by the program and the internship host employer.

Will I meet with other participants on the program?
A pre-internship orientation will be held late in the spring semester to discuss the program for accepted students and meet as a group. We’ll also connect everyone early on in the acceptance process to discuss travel partners or roommates.

What if I need to leave early or quit my internship?
Whether initiated by the employer or the student, if an internship position is ended early you may be expected to return a prorated portion of the internship stipend. Please let your supervisor and the Internship Program know as soon as possible.

I missed the application deadline, can I still apply?
No exceptions are made for late applications.

Will I also receive a Summer Earnings Waiver (SEW) if I receive an award?
Participants eligible for a Summer Earnings Waiver (SEW) will receive a SEW by participating in this program. Summer Earnings Waivers are available to eligible students with University Scholarship funding once during their time at Brown.

Is summer housing provided?
Housing is not provided to summer SPRINT recipients. You can view this document related to Los Angeles housing search ideas.
