Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional assignments similar to those completed by new hires or summer interns. However, unlike traditional internships, Micro-Internships can take place year-round, typically range from 5 to 40 hours of work, and projects are due between one week and one month after kickoff. Micro-Internships enable career launchers (college students and recent graduates) to demonstrate skills, explore career paths and build their networks as they seek the right full-time role. They are used by companies as large as those in the Fortune 100, or as small as emerging start-ups, and they extend across departments, including sales, marketing, technology, HR and finance.

To help raise awareness of micro-internships among students attending ACI's member colleges and universities, FORVIS LLP will sponsor ACI | FORVIS Micro-Internship Scholarships for students attending participating schools. Students from each participating school that apply for at least four micro-internships or secure one micro-internship by Saturday, Jan. 31, 2023, will be eligible for this scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be selected by financial aid staff at participating campuses between Feb. 6 and March 1, 2023. For more information, please contact Daisy Gomez, director of scholarships and events at dgomez@acifund.org. 

Students from ACI member colleges and universities not participating in the ACI | FORVIS Micro-Internship Scholarships can apply for micro-internships at any time. Micro-internships are facilitated via the Parker Dewey platform, making it easy for companies, schools and students to benefit from the program, as there are no administrative barriers.
