The Moloney Scholar Program application is now open for the academic year 2026-2027. This program provides up to $2,500 in financial support to full-time UMass Lowell students who secure an UNPAID internship at:

  • Qualified non-profit organizations, federal, state or municipal government agencies
  • On-campus UMass Lowell departments with faculty members or staff (if not already funded through student employment)

FULL DETAILS and the student application are available on the Moloney Scholars website, including additional information about the Moloney program and process.

A few important things to note about the 2026-2027 process:

  1. Students apply AFTER securing their own internship. (Faculty/Staff do not post these positions in JobHawk)
  2. Students must have an offer letter/email from their supervisor BEFORE starting the application process
  3. International students: Off-campus internships must follow Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or pre-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT)
  4. Funding is limited and not guaranteed.
