The University of Mary Washington was one of seven institutions to receive up to $100,000 annually for two years to improve data on internships and work-based learning.
The State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) awarded $1.6 million in grants to seven institutions of higher education recently to enhance their capacity to track, analyze and report on internships and other work-based learning experiences campuswide.
The University of Mary Washington was one of the institutions to receive up to $100,000 annually for two years to establish or strengthen data collection systems and allow it to track student participation in work-based learning. The collected data will give better visibility on student engagement, access and success.
“This grant will help us to build internal processes for analyzing our internship data and telling the narratives that emerge,” said Kimberly Young, UMW associate provost for career and workforce.
The grants are administered by SCHEV through the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP), which is funded by the General Assembly’s Commonwealth Innovative Internship Fund and Program. Read more about SCHEV Grant to Showcase Internships.
