Department Eligibility
The
Pathways Internship Program supports an array of undergraduate internship opportunities across campuses, departments, and disciplines by providing reimbursement for paid intern wages within an academic year (September - May). Funding is awarded via an internship funding allotment which equates to a fund reimbursement of up to $2,500 for wages paid to 1 undergraduate intern. Supervising-Mentors can apply for up to two Pathways allotments per academic year.
Pathways Supervising-Mentor criteria:
- Be on contract with UW-Stevens Point at the time of application and throughout the duration of the Pathways academic year
- Provide an internship position description (containing learning and/or internship outcomes) as well as a paid internship experience (Position Description Example)
- Agree to complete the following components of the internship:
- Orientation, on-boarding, training, supervision, and mentorship
- Mid-experience performance evaluation
- End of experience feedback survey (distributed by the Pathways Program Coordinator)
Consideration may be given to the following:
- Innovative, distinct, or high-level responsibilities
- Supervising-Mentor does not already have access to other funding sources (grants, awards, donations, budget lines, etc.)
- Supervising-Mentor has not received Pathways funds within the last two academic years
- Past feedback of supervision/mentorship as a Pathways Supervising-Mentor
- Equitable division of awards across institutional work areas
