PSIP Endowed Scholarship Launched

The University Career Center has created a new scholarship to fund U-M students’ ability to afford interning in DC through PSIP. Currently, our interns report the cost of working in DC for the summer is over $5,500. Please consider donating to this newly established scholarship to cover the cost of student housing, transportation and living expenses. PSIP is a transformative experience that should be available to any Michigan student, regardless of socioeconomic status.
