Campus Auxiliary Services (CAS) Internship Stipend Program
The goal of the CAS Internship Stipend Program is to provide SUNY New Paltz students with the opportunity to gain valuable experiential education without sacrificing needed income. CAS Internship Stipend funds offer monetary support for undergraduates who secure internship opportunities to investigate career options, further develop career-related skills, and link classroom learning to the world of work. These funds enable students to participate in career-related experiences, regardless of financial constraints.
The CAS Internship Stipend Program is a highly selective and competitive program that offers a limited number of scholarship stipends up to $2,000 for the fall and spring semesters to students involved in a semester-long internship or student teaching placement. This is a non-tuition award, and students will receive the stipend deposited into their student account in two installments, one at the beginning and the other towards the midpoint of the internship. Because it is processed through the student's account, it may be applied to unpaid balances. The student will need to be in touch with Student Accounts regarding any questions of this nature.
