Each summer, BrownConnect Linking Internships and Knowledge Awards (LINK) offers financial assistance to undergraduates pursuing unpaid or low-paying summer internships, and summer 2018 was no exception. Over 250 Brown students were funded across the globe, and their opportunities ranged from researching a cure for breast cancer, designing puppets and theatre sets, tagging Salmon in Alaska, researching weather trends on Mount Washington, and much more. The possibilities are endless! The best thing about the BrownConnect LINK Award is that it allows students the freedom to explore career options and engage in experiential learning activities in industries that may not typically pay.

To be eligible for a LINK award, undergraduates must apply for or secure an internship that is unpaid or that pays $1,000 or less before applying for funds. The stipend for a domestic internship is $3,500, and is $5,000 for an internship abroad. Deadlines are in mid-March and mid-April.
