The 2025 Intern Application deadline was this Monday, and we are absolutely floored to have received 635 applications!! We are so encouraged by the growing interest in the TIPS Summer Internship Program, and we are grateful for the time and effort spent on each and every one of these applications. Things are starting to get real as we move into our intern selection process!
Applicants, stay tuned, as you’ll hear back from TIPS by the end of the month about whether you’re invited to our interview round. Again, THANK YOU for taking the time to apply to our program - an extra thank you to community partners, school staff, nonprofits, and alumni who’ve spread the word. And, we couldn’t do the work of getting to know each and every one of our applicants without the great support of our Application Review and Selection Committee volunteers. Over the next month, they will be putting in over 750 hours of work in application review and interviews. We can’t wait to meet this year’s intern cohort!
