Why CLIP?

At the University of Missouri, students gain knowledge from industry experts through lectures and research. Internships with the state government in Jefferson City, MO, offer a chance to apply classroom learning in a practical setting.

Why support?

Many students can’t participate in internships due to the need to work part-time during the academic year or full-time in the summer. State government internships are unpaid, leading to lost wages and additional costs like fuel, professional attire, and meals, averaging $5,280 per semester. Financial assistance is essential for students to benefit from these internships.
