It is my goal to ensure that college is affordable for all students because today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders. With that in mind, I am delighted to share the enclosed guide that contains information about college and postgradu- ate scholarships and internships that are available in our community. This guide contains information about internships and scholarships in a wide range of interest areas in- cluding law, science, the media, arts, entertainment and corporate interest. There are also opportunities available at the United Nations and in City and State government as well as opportunities abroad. As the representative for the 19th Senatorial District, I am proud to be able to provide this important guide for students and parents. It is my hope that you will take advantage of this valuable resource as you journey toward academic success and personal prosperity. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge the staff of Assemblymember Peter Rivera for their outstanding work on the original guide. I wish you every success in your future endeavors. Sincerely, John L. Sampson Member, State Senate 19th Senatorial District 2 How to Use This Guide Please use this corporate, government, and not-for-profit sector “Internship Directory and Scholarship Guide” to assist your search for volunteer and paid internships/fellowship opportunities and scholarships. The internship directory is divided by several topics and workforce-sectors. For instance, fellowships and scholarships are separate. Please note, the last page contains important internet links for additional scholarship resources. Many internships and fellowships require a resume and/or cover letter with the applica- tion. Some have strict deadlines for each year, so make sure all necessary information is submitted on time. Consider deadlines listed in this directory as a general guide and check with the program about specific guidelines for the year you are applying; many programs change their requirements regularly. Written inquiries are suggested instead of phone calls. Several programs, particularly fel- lowships and more selective internships and scholarships, require submission of writing samples, or other specific requirements omitted in this directory/guide. Please make sure to begin your inquiry well before deadlines. Your application will most likely NOT be re- viewed if received after the deadline. While this directory/guide will serve as a very useful resource, it is important to note that there is a large volume of information that has not been included due to space and consid- erations. The web sites mentioned above are key to researching more information. Your interest in a specific company or workforce sector can help you narrow your search. 4 Opportunities Abroad CDS International, Inc.
