Financial Aid

As a student or recent graduate it may be challenging to pay for daily expenses or basic living costs - especially if your internship will require you to move to the DC area. Needless to say, being an unpaid intern can be financially strenuous.

HRC internships are unpaid, but each intern will receive a modest, one-time travel stipend. As an HRC intern, you'll gain significant experiences, networking skills, and insight into potential career paths. Your time will be well spent as HRC relies on our interns to do substantial work.

Many universities have some sort of grant program for students taking unpaid internships. We encourage students to seek out these opportunities and to talk to their career center and financial aid office advisers for other financial aid opportunities.
