During the spring semester, three IAPA or Political Science concentrators will be named the Governor Frank Licht '38 interns and will work with Rhode Island legislature.

The Licht interns will each receive a stipend of $3,000 through an endowment by the family of the late Governor Frank Licht '38.

Stipends are awarded based on academic performance and on the proposed integration of the internship with future academic work. Preference will be given to students who have not already received a White award. You may apply for a White internship without having secured a definite position with an organization (you may list several options on the application). These funds are for the purpose of students gaining first-hand experience in working with state governments, national agencies, nonprofits, private organizations. This funding is limited to the concentrations of International & Public Affairs, Political Science, and Economics.

This award provides a $5,000 stipend for up to three outstanding IAPA or Political Science concentrators who are particularly interested in public service to pursue an eight-week unpaid summer internship.
