Interns for Indiana (IFI)

Here at the Office of Professional Practice, we are connecting entrepreneurially-minded Purdue University in West Lafayette and Indianapolis students to Indiana startup and early stage companies in order to promote economic development, enhance student success and provide professional opportunities to high performing students. Opportunities will be available for students in STEM and non-STEM disciplines.

How it works:

• Internship opportunities will be offered during the summer and students must apply directly to IFI opportunities. 
• Students will work for a minimum of 10 weeks on a full-time (40 hours per week) basis.
• Students selected for internship opportunitties must register for ENTR 39699 Interns for Indiana Experience.
• Students will receive competitive compensation in the IFI program on a bi-weekly pay schedule during each summer.

The program is open to all undergraduate students with a 2.8 GPA or higher.* Graduate students are not eligible to participate. International students in First-Year Engineering will not be eliglble to participate in Interns for Indiana due to CPT restrictions.
