IMPORTANT ASIP UPDATES, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2020
In order for internships to be a safe and positive experience, we have restructured the funding process and greatly broaden the scope of what we will accept as an internship. We want all students to be in a safe environment this summer.
To assure that many more Williams students receive funding, the base stipend will be $1,500 this year, and students on financial aid will receive an additional adjustment. ASIP funding this year is specifically for food and miscellaneous expenses, not for travel, lodging, or to replace paid wages.
To apply first years, sophomores and juniors must obtain a full-time unpaid or low stipend remote summer internships (i.e. those exhibiting “social distancing,” that is, not located in a public space) or safe domestic summer internships (on-site, on location).
Remote Internships are given first priority and we are also considering safe domestic internships. Full-time is defined as 30 hours per week for at least 8 weeks.
***If funds are still available, we will consider funding for professional development courses. The maximum amount awarded up to $1,500.

The Williams ’68 Center for Career Exploration awards summer grants to currently enrolled first-years, sophomores, and juniors for unpaid or limited stipend full-time summer internships through our Alumni Sponsored Internship Program (ASIP) in the areas of arts/entertainment, education/teaching, non-profit/community service, social justice, federal/state/local government, international development, law, international affairs, public policy, environment, economic development, startups/entrepreneurship/social entrepreneurship, technology, health/medicine and more!
Please Note: If current sophomores or juniors received an ASIP grant in a previous year, they can submit an ASIP application for the second time! First-time ASIP applicants will be given first priority in this order, juniors, sophomores, first-years, and then students applying for the ASIP grant a second time.
The Williams Alumni Sponsored Internship Program enables students to perform a public service to these organizations and work on special projects with an opportunity to gain experience, explore career fields, develop skills, and build a network. The ASIP grant is used to help students with expenses during their summer internship (transportation, food, lodging, etc.)

Please note: If you receive any funding from any other Williams College Academic Departments/Programs or Administrative Offices including grants/scholarships/stipends/weekly pay in the summer of 2020 you are not eligible to receive an ASIP grant in the summer of 2020. We want to be fair to all students, so instead of awarding 2 types of Williams College funding in one summer to one Williams student, 2 Williams students will each receive one type of funding.
