Magner Career Center Internship Stipend Awards
Magner Career Center Internship Stipend Awards are competitive cash awards to help current undergraduate and graduate students take nonpaid/low-paying off-campus internships. Financial awards range from $1,000 to $3,500 and are taxable. Internships providing small stipends, such as for travel or lunch, and internships for academic credit are also available. Stipends are awarded based on the number of hours and weeks worked at the internship site.
These awards are made possible by very generous donations from Brooklyn College alumni (Magner, Sisti, Tow, Kandel, O’Hara, Friedman, Garil, Glaser, Geen, Kandel, and Weill) and Kauffman, Citigroup, and Turing’s Craft foundations.
For more information about these awards, contact the Magner Career Center at 718.951.5696 or visit their website.

- A GPA of at least 3.50 in advanced electives taken in the Mathematics Department
- The satisfactory completion of at least three credits in honors work at an advanced course level, or the completion of an independent study with a grade of A- or better
Note that it is not necessarily the case that all awards are given out each year.
