Equity in Internships Program

Applications are now open for our new Equity in Internships Stipend!

Educate Maine and FocusMaine are committed to supporting equity and increase experiential learning opportunities for women, BIPOC, and economically-challenged undergraduate students in the signature sectors of FocusMaine to realize their career goals. The stipend is to be used for summer internships to help cover the cost of transportation, room and board, or other internship related costs. Ten (10) $1,000 stipends will be awarded. Open to BIPOC students interning at Maine based companies in the fields of Aquaculture, Biopharma, or the Food Economy.

UPDATE: Twenty stipends are now available and the program is open to any BiPOC student working in an apprenticeship, internship, or co-op with a Maine-based employer this summer regardless of industry affiliation.
