Master of Public Service Internship Award

The Master of Public Service Internship Award provides financial support to students in the Master of Public Service (MPS) program at the University of Waterloo who have arranged unpaid internships. The award is designed to help offset the costs associated with participating in an internship when paid co-op employment is not available. Decisions regarding the allocation of internship awards and the amounts awarded to each recipient are made by the Director of the Master of Public Service program. These decisions are based on several factors including the anticipated costs associated with a particular internship, considerations related to the student's financial need, and the overall availability of award funds. To apply, students must submit an application to the MPS Program Officer that describes the internship and provides an estimate of costs for the term. The application form is available on the MPS Learn site and is due on the last business day of the first month of the internship term. The maximum award a student can receive is $3,000 per term.
