Internships & Scholarships
Internships
Internships are great ways to gain professional experience and explore career fields you are interested in. The internship experience is very valuable when it comes to applying for a job or graduate school. Some internships may be unpaid, for college credit, or paid.

Scholarships
Scholarships are free to students and provide funding to pay for tuition, books, or other cost of attendance. Scholarships will note what they can pay for, so a non-restrictive scholarship for cost of attendance is especially helpful because they often come as a refund check to you to pay for tuition, books, rent, food, and more.
These scholarships range from hundreds of dollars to a fully-funded education. Keep in mind: when it comes to your future, every dollar counts. Don’t get hung up on how small or large a scholarship is. It all adds up!
On ctcLink, you can see what your ‘Budget’ or ‘Cost of Attendance’ is. This means you can accept as much financial aid, scholarships, and loans up to that number.
