Internship Scholarship

The Paul Hackett Scholarship provides Oglethorpe students the opportunity to apply for a $2000 scholarship to support an unpaid or underpaid internship that is pursued for credit.

The award may be used for expenses related to the pursuit of the internship and will be processed as part of a student’s financial aid award letter. The award will be posted to the recipient’s statement, being applied first to any outstanding tuition, fees, room or board. If the award generates a credit balance on the student’s statement, a refund would be issued to the student.

Summer applications open in April.
