Alumni SwatWorks: Funded Micro-Internships

SwatWorks's Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, remote assignments that are similar to those given to new hires or interns. These projects enable current or continuing Swarthmore students to demonstrate their amazing array of skills, explore career paths, and build their networks, as they are mentored by Swarthmore alumni and parents. These Micro-Internships are funded through micro-grants offered by Career Services in two increments:

  • $300 for a 20-hour project
  • $600 for a 40-hour project

If you have questions about the SwatWorks program, you can review the program FAQ's or complete the form at the bottom of this page, and a member of the Parker Dewey team will reach out.
