ASIP 2019

The Alumni Sponsored Internship Program provides grants for students to pursue summer internships from organizations that offer unpaid or limited stipends for internships that otherwise would be financially inaccessible for students. ASIP grants empower students to explore areas of potential career interest, engage projects that address significant issues in society, and create positive local community and even global-level change. ASIPs offer students first-hand experience to augment their academic preparation, learn specific co-curricular skills, and build important professional networks. ASIPs showcase Williams students to the world and the world to Williams; the impact of which can last a lifetime.
