ODU Receives $100k Grant for Federal Work-Study Internship Program - Kelsey Kendall, Old Dominion University

The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia awarded Old Dominion University a two-year $100,000 grant to support innovative work-based learning for students. The grant, which was awarded through the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership, will allow the University to pilot the Federal Work-Study Internship Program this fall. This allows on-campus Federal Work-Study jobs to function more like internships and promotes work-based learning for all students. “ODU’s Center for Career & Leadership Development is excited to continue working with SCHEV to expand work-based learning opportunities to college students by making Federal Work-Study (FWS) positions more internship-like by incorporating career readiness competencies,” said Lisa Moser, associate director for experiential learning.
