The Cooper Housing Internship Scholarship Program aims to provide financial support for students pursuing internships with non-profits, shelters, and community organizations that work directly with homeless populations. The program seeks to make these opportunities accessible to students by offering $2000 stipends to cover living expenses and other costs associated with unpaid internships.
Through hands-on experience and career readiness training, the program helps students develop essential skills in social work, non-profit management, and public policy, while also contributing fresh perspectives to the field of homelessness advocacy. The initiative fosters both professional growth for students and meaningful contributions to organizations that address homelessness, such as PATH and Good Samaritan Shelter.
Spring applications are open from March 17 to May 12, 2025.
