We fund internships—even when others don’t.

Launched in 1999, the Praxis program makes it possible for every student to take that dream internship. Each year, around 400 undergraduates receive stipends of up to $4,500 to work in health care, education, government, STEM, and other fields. Since its founding, Praxis has supported 10,000-plus internships around the world.
