SIF+-+School+Funding+Application


 * Updated 4/18/2017 **

The Supplemental Internship Fund assists schools by providing financial support for students gaining work experience in their CTE Fields of Study, allowing students to practice skills taught in the classroom in authentic work settings outside the school. These experiences give students exposure to new work settings and opportunities to build relationships outside the school that can guide and support them in making choices about future training and college, helping them connect to employment opportunities upon graduation.
