The Social Impact Internship Fund (SIIF) supports Georgetown MBA students who accept unpaid or low-paying internships in the social impact field. The Net Impact Club raises and awards stipends to support MBA students who are pursuing unpaid or minimally funded internships in social impact oriented organizations.
You are eligible for SIIF if:
Enrollment: You are a first-year, full-time MBA student at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business.
Internship Requirement: You must secure a summer internship in a social impact field.
- A confirmed position is not required at the time of application.
- If selected as a recipient, you must provide an offer letter before fund disbursement.
Compensation Limit: Total summer earnings must not exceed $6,000, including all forms of compensation (e.g., salary, stock options, foreign currency). SIIF recipients may not accept additional employment that would cause earnings to exceed this limit.
