Seventeen Bemidji-area employers will host more than two dozen Bemidji State University students for paid internships during the summer of 2018 as part of the university’s continuing partnership with the George W. Neilson Foundation.

The internship partnership launched in the summer of 2012 to promote academic development and to encourage employers to provide local, paid internship opportunities for BSU students. Originally planned to launch with 10 internships, high employer demand led to 13 positions being created at 12 businesses. Since its inception, the program has funded more than 110 internships, and student interns have earned more than $482,000 from 88 participating employers.<\/p>\n
