Rapaporte Foundation Summer Internship Grants
Established in 2004 by the Rapaporte Foundation, this grant enables students to pursue an otherwise unpaid summer internship in an organization or project that serves the interests of women, girls or gender equity. Grants are awarded to undergraduate students in the spring of each year.
All Brandeis undergraduates who are under financial necessity to earn summer income are eligible to apply. Please note, however, that priority will be given to students who have not already received alternate summer funding from Brandeis (e.g., Sorensen Fellowship, World of Work internship, etc.). Students must be returning to Brandeis the following year (with the exception of study abroad students) so seniors are not eligible for this grant.
