Dear Colleague,

The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center would like to inform you about an internship program we are offering during the upcoming academic year, and encourage your institution to help us notify students about this opportunity. The Life Sciences Internship Challenge is a workforce development program focused on enhancing the talent pipeline for Massachusetts life sciences companies. The program will provide and fund internships for around 80 students and recent graduates who are considering career opportunities in the life sciences. Host companies will commit to providing a dedicated mentor and meaningful internship opportunity that relates to the academic focus of eligible students. Studies have shown the value and necessity of providing students with internships in the field of life sciences, and we hope that this opportunity to explore a career path will enhance the students' academic training.

The Summer 2011 Internship Challenge was met with extraordinary success, with 219 students representing 63 different colleges and universities placed in paid internships at 128 companies across Massachusetts. The Center will continue to accept applications from eligible students and organizing them in an online database accessible through our website. Companies that register with us to host interns are granted access to review applications and are instructed to contact students directly for interviews. The Center is offering to reimburse companies (with 100 or less employees) for intern stipends of up to $15 per hour for 480 hours ($7,200) for students selected through the program.

Any student enrolled in a Massachusetts college or university is eligible to apply, provided that they meet the following eligibility requirements:

 *   4-year college or university students must have or will complete(d) at least their sophomore year the semester before the internship, or have graduated within the past year.
 *   Community college (or 2-year Associate program) students must have or will complete(d) their Associate's Degree or Certificate or the equivalent of one year's course work related to the internship placement.
 *   Graduate students must be enrolled in a Master's Degree program or received their Master's Degree within the past year. PhD candidates are not eligible.

We kindly ask that you help us reach out to students so that they become aware of this opportunity.
