As the state's flagship public university, UConn feeds the talent pipeline for high paying jobs in Connecticut's growing industries. In partnership with Innovate Stamford, UConn's Office of the Vice President for Research is administering the UConn-Innovate Stamford Internship Program. Every year, the program supports 50 paid summer internships at companies in the Stamford Innovation District. Participating companies range from major corporations to high-potential smaller businesses and startups. As part of the program, interns will also be mentored in entrepreneurship and innovation by academic and business leaders. In addition, interns receive a $5,000 stipend, as well as no cost housing in dorms on the UConn Stamford campus.
