The Honors Internship Program provides an Academic Scholarship for the credit-bearing summer experience and a limited number of Internship Stipends from the College of Saint Rose to assist with expenses. The School has and is continuing to recruit several Honors Internship Partners who will provide quality professional experiences for student interns.
