Bing Summer

Stanford in Washington students have the unique opportunity
to work in public service in the nation's capital. In order to encourage
students to continue in their internships through the summer, Peter and
Helen Bing have established the Bing Summer Fellowship Program. The
program supports up to fifteen Stanford in Washington alumni by providing
a $2500 stipend to help lessen the burden of an unpaid summer internship
to students on financial aid. This enables students to take positions
that serve their personal and professional development without having to
worry about financial obligations. Furthermore, it extends Stanford in
Washington's commitment to public service by allowing students to
continue working with public and nonprofit agencies and organizations
that cannot afford to pay salaries to their interns. The internship
should last a minimum of 8 weeks and be essentially full-time.

Because the internship experience is often enhanced by
spending longer than 10 weeks in the same organization, spring students
applying for the Bing Fellowship are encouraged to request that their SIW
internship be extended through the summer months. Fall and winter
students should contact their supervisors about the possibility of
returning the following summer in order to continue the work they started
at Stanford in Washington. However, the fellowship may be applied to any
substantive internship experience. Students are responsible for securing
their own summer internships.
