Summer 2009 Internships

Description:
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation offers paid summer internships for high-caliber students completing their undergraduate degrees, or in a few cases, post-graduate degrees. Our highly competitive internships are awarded to men and women who are curious about the world around them and think independently to find novel solutions. Our select team of interns makes immediate and meaningful contributions to our work in education, entrepreneurship, and research.

We generally seek undergraduate students pursuing degrees in the fields of economics, engineering, business, public policy, education, mathematics, English, and journalism/communications. We also seek summer interns in graduate programs in the fields of law, business finance, policy administration, mathematics and any of the sciences.

Experience & Education:
We hire interns with high academic credentials who have completed one or more years of college. We strongly prefer students with a GPA of 3.5 or above.
