Hodson Trust Internship

The Hodson Trust Internship Program, made possible through a generous grant from the Hodson Trust, provides funding for summer internships for undergraduate students. Students can apply for funding for otherwise unfunded internships, or design their own projects, working directly with mentors in their field.

This program gives students an opportunity to acquire professional experience during their college years. Students can expand the range of their skills, explore their talents, and learn about the realities of fields in which they think they might like to work.

The Career Development Office assists students throughout the process of finding and applying for internships, whether or not they plan to compete for Hodson funding.

The Hodson Trust, settled in 1920 by the family of Beneficial Corporation founder Colonel Clarence Hodson, benefits four Maryland educational institutions: Hood College of Frederick, St. John’s College of Annapolis, The Johns Hopkins University of Baltimore, and Washington College of Chestertown. For over 100 years the Hodson Trust has awarded funding totaling more than $300 million to support higher education in the State of Maryland. As a beneficiary of the Hodson Trust’s generosity, St. John’s College established endowment funds that will carry the Hodson name in perpetuity through financial aid scholarships and internship stipends.

The Hodson Trust Internship Program is open to all undergraduate students on campus regardless of financial need. A selection committee consisting of faculty and staff members reviews each student’s application. Generally, the required hours of work range from 20-40 per week. Depending on the length of the internship stipends vary but do not exceed $5,100. To receive a stipend of $5,100 you must complete a full-time internship which is a minimum of 320 hours.

In today’s competitive environment internships have become important experiences for many students. This program gives students an opportunity to acquire professional experience during the summers of their college years.
