Summer 2023 Internship Program - Stipend Funding

Apply by January 30, 2023

We invite Tennessee startup companies and entrepreneur centers to apply for program acceptance and funds to host an intern through the Launch Tennessee Summer Internship Program in 2022. Launch Tennessee will recruit and screen top student applicants from across the country and match them with applicable company postings for consideration.

The required total stipend amount per full-time intern is $7,200 (about $15/hour) for the summer. In addition, LaunchTN will review each company application and determine the amount of LaunchTN funding contribution per company (up to $4,500 towards each intern stipend) by February 2023.

Please note that LaunchTN will no longer administer student stipends directly due to program updates. However, if you qualify for funds to contribute towards your intern's stipend, we will grant funding to each company directly in May 2023. Please only complete one (1) form per company, and you may apply for multiple interns.

Contact talent@launchtn.org with any questions. Visit the LaunchTN website for more information.
