2013 Urban Scholars Internship Program

The City of Minneapolis is once again offering its internship program for college students interested in public service careers. The program aims to help young people from diverse backgrounds build their skills for the future, with a focus on careers in public service. Last year eight Urban Scholars were chosen from more than 100 applicants to work in key areas of City government. Students who are enrolled and in good standing at a two- or four-year college or university are eligible to apply. They must also be a permanent resident of Minneapolis, although they can be attending a school anywhere, not just in Minnesota. The 12-week program is a full-time paid internship experience that runs from May 20 – Aug. 9. Interested students should apply online by Monday, March 25 at www.minneapolismn.gov/jobs/jobs_before.
