To apply for the LSA Internship Scholarship, you will need to complete these two steps:
STEP ONE: Register your internship on LSA Engage.
This step must be completed before the LSA Scholarships Office can review a student's LSA Internship Scholarship application, though you can complete both at the same time. We advise all LSA Internship Scholarship applicants to register their internship on LSA Engage as soon as they secure it.
1. Log in to LSA Engage and then select “Experiential Learning” on the left hand side vertical menu.
2. Select “New Experience” in the top right hand corner.
3. Choose “Internship & LSA Internship Scholarship” for the “Experiential Learning Type", fill out the form, and then click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
4. On the next page, click “Documents and Forms.” DO NOT CLICK “SUBMIT.”
5. Select “Upload File” to attach the proof of internship document from your employer. The document must meet ALL of the following requirements:
- Be on official company letterhead
- Contain exact start and exact end dates within the academic term in which you are applying
- State the number of hours per week you will be interning
- Provide a brief job description detailing specific duties, tasks, goals, etc.
- Specify the address where the internship will take place (street, city, state, and zip code). If you will work remotely, the letter should specify this and list the company’s physical address.
- Include the name and contact information of your internship supervisor
If the document does not meet all of the requirements detailed above, please reach out to your internship site to request an edited letter before proceeding. Then, click “Save.”
6. Click “Submit” in the upper right hand corner. A pop-up window will now appear. Click “OK.”
7. Click “Submit for Approval,” then click “OK.” Your application should now have a yellow box at the top that says “Pending Final Approval.” This box means that your application is now in our approval queue.
Once registered in LSA Engage, the LSA Opportunity Hub will evaluate your internship for eligibility. You will be emailed a decision within one week of submitting your internship for approval.
If you have questions about these instructions, please email lsa-opphub@umich.edu.
STEP TWO: At the same time, complete the scholarship application through the LSA Scholarships application portal.
1. Click on the “apply for the scholarship here” button below,
2. Click on the “Student” tile, and use your UMICH credentials to log in.
3. Once logged in, select “Internship Scholarship Application (US-Based)”.
If you have questions about the application process, please visit the LSA Scholarships website, email the office directly at lsascholarships@umich.edu, or schedule an appointment to meet with a scholarship coordinator.
