Non-Funded or Self-Funded Cardinal Quarter
Want to be part of Cardinal Quarter and don't need funding? If you are taking part in a public service internship experience paid by your host organization or your expenses are being covered through another source, you can still be part of the Cardinal Quarter Summer 2025 cohort.
To qualify as a Cardinal Quarter, your experience would need to be full-time for nine consecutive weeks during the summer. You would also be asked to complete a worksheet regarding the Principles of Ethical & Effective Service, complete a learning plan, and meet with an on-campus mentor. Students completing a Cardinal Quarter experience can also apply to have their experience notated on their Stanford transcript.
To be included in the Cardinal Quarter cohort, please submit a brief application letting us know a bit about your confirmed internship opportunity.
If you have any questions please contact Valerie Chow at the Haas Center.
This opportunity is open to undergraduates from all academic disciplines. Students who have begun their coterm programs (i.e., students who are paying for graduate tuition) are not eligible to apply. Students must be enrolled in Spring 2025 and must be in good academic standing.
Requirements:
All fellows are required to work with their community partners 35-40 hours/week for nine consecutive weeks. Fellows are expected to work on-site at their host organizations at least on a hybrid schedule, but some fully virtual experiences may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Fellows must have a designated full-time professional staff member on-site as their supervisor/mentor.
Other commitments include the following:
- Complete the Engaging in Ethical and Effective Service worksheet.
- Identify and meet with an on-campus mentor at least once.
- Design a personal learning plan and share the learning plan with the site supervisor and on-campus mentor.
- Complete all required pre-orientation forms.
