Kid has a paid federal internship…so far not canceled

DoD internships through the SMART Scholars program haven’t been canceled yet I don’t think.

This is so freaking depressing.

NASA is still interviewing for them…!?

Yes my daughter's was cancelled.

She hates this administration for ruining everything.

Our office has spring interns, but we are not looking at hiring any summer interns. Nobody has told us that we can’t, but we cannot possibly in good conscience offer an internship to students when we don’t even know if we will exist by summer. It’s really sad. We have always had a really good set of interns who have had a great experiences with us.

Most law school internships have been cancelled with Fed Agencies.

Courts and legislative branches operate independently so those internships are likely safe.

But executive agencies internships are probably going to be cancelled (or will be a pretty miserable interning working for the federal government while Elon Musk dismantles it and fires all the career people that would be the ones supervising the interns). Just another sad consequence of this chaos.

My kid has one that hasn’t been cancelled and was surprisingly offered a second one from another agency earlier this week. We know it is still moving through the system as it requires clearance and the process has continued. Both are defense related. We understand these could be pulled at any time, but for now they seem to be on track.

My kid still has his. We are definitely making a plan B.

Everyone I know had theirs cancelled.

My kid has one tha hasn't been canceled yet.

Federal agencies historically offered many high quality internships. Did anyone's kid get a Federal internship for this Summer that has not been cancelled? DS at UMD does not know anyone who has one in hand.
