How to apply
Fall 2022-Spring 2023 KISI Internships are now closed. Summer 2023 internship opportunities will be posted in the spring semester.
KISI internships are unpaid and available for the following students to apply: Kelley School of Business (KSOB) undergraduates that have completed at least one semester on campus (second semester freshmen-senior), KSOB minors, and LAMP students.
Each student may apply for up to three internship opportunities. Only one KISI Student Internship Application should be submitted.
Each internship opportunity will be closed and removed once it reaches 10 applicants. If you’re interested in a position, don’t wait to apply.

Failure to communicate reflects poorly on the student and on the KISI internship program.
If you receive and accept an offer for a KISI internship, you must send an email to Stacie Ballard, Assistant Director, Kelley Institute for Social Impact at staballa@iu.edu. You will then be enrolled in a Canvas course where you can access important documents and assignments.
