Consider joining the growing group of faculty, staff, alumni and employers that create support for students exploring their future careers.

Annually the Suffolk County Community College Career Services Internship Scholarship Committee rotates across three campuses to coordinate fundraising activities to secure essential funds.

  • 70% of employers offer ongoing, full-time jobs to successful interns.
  • Completing an internship gives you an 85% increased chance of being employed following graduation.
  • Students who complete internships receive 16% more job offers than those who don’t.
