The Internship Impact Fund makes experiential learning possible for all SUNY Oswego Students. We do this by creating more paid internships and by addressing some of the "hidden costs" of internships.
Email experience@oswego.edu for more information.
Thanks to the Impact Fund, we've been able to grow the number of paid internships by 27%. A select number of internship positions are supported by this fund through hourly wages for 3-credit experiences.
All Impact-Funded sites have been pre-selected and are searchable in Handshake.
Pre-approved Impact-funded sites include:
The Impact Fund supports a limited amount of living stipends for "hidden" costs like:

The fund has grown to support SUNY Oswego students seeking professional and academic experiences to further their co-curricular career goals including Internships, Co-ops, and various professional development opportunities.
This scholarship was established by Jake Berg ’04 to provide perpetual support for undergraduate students with demonstrated financial need – who are involved in ALANA – and are participating in a credit-bearing internship. SUNY Oswego brought Jake into a host of immersive experiences as well as provided him with the foundation to thrive professionally. He would like to pay that sentiment forward with this fund. The next scholarship round is available Summer 2024 - Spring 2025.
James F. Rogers graduated from SUNY Oswego with a BS in Business Administration in 1976 and believes the experience he gained as the Business Development Representative for Columbia Banking in Oswego was a key element in his development and career success. It helped him win the Outstanding Business Student Award and provided a valuable reference on his resume. He strongly believes in the value of performing work and gaining the related experience in one's career field while still a student. This Internship sponsorship by James is his way to payback to Oswego and pay it forward to current students who have shown their dedication to their studies and to working in a Business career. The next scholarship round is available Summer 2024 - Spring 2025.

The next scholarship round is available Summer 2024.

Doing an internship with Cryomech, Inc. has helped me bridge the gap between education and required work experience. This allowed me to grow in confidence as an individual after knowing that I have the needed tools to become successful.
