URochester Internship Program
The Greene Center is excited to announce the launch of our URochester Internship Program that includes four elite programs for summer 2026. These programs offer financial support for returning undergraduate students who are interning in the Rochester area. These experiences are designed to provide you with valuable, hands-on experience in different industries and diverse roles. Students must apply individually to specific internship roles in Handshake, not the program itself. For more information, check out the URochester Internship Program website.
What you get:
- $3,000 – $10,000 stipend depending on the program
- Two summer excursions
- End-of-summer celebration
- Internship credit (with transcript notation)
- A dedicated career advisor
Applications for the Bond Scholar, Hire Rochester Scholar, and Ostrow/Newkirk Scholar programs are now open through Handshake. Deadlines vary based on the internship role. Apply now!
We encourage you to apply to any and all internship experiences that you’re interested in. Additional opportunities will be available in early 2026.
