It is expected that students will receive a stipend from their summer internship employers.
vlog may provide limited summer funding support for internships in the public or nonprofit/NGO sector when stipends are not possible. Students must have offers in hand by mid-March to apply for summer assistance. They do not receive academic credit for internships.
Our second-year Master in Public Policy (MPP) students work with public or nonprofit/NGO sector clients for their Policy Analysis Exercise.

The end result is a written capstone thesis (for students) and a working recommendation (for clients). Students are not paid for this work; however, travel or related expenses may be reimbursed.
