High School students who are looking to explore and prepare for their careers after graduation can apply for grants from the Future Ready Iowa Summer Youth Internship Project. A total of $250,000 is available for student programs, and used for services and support costs of program participants. Priority for funding will be given to programs that provide internships to high school youth who are at risk of not graduating, from low-income households, from communities under-represented in the Iowa workforce, or who otherwise face barriers to success and upward mobility in the labor market. Last year, more than 550 students participated in 26 summer internship programs. For more information, click below.
