Using Business For Good

The NYU Stern School of Business believes that our students can play a critical role in transforming the challenges of the 21st century into opportunities to create value for business and society. To assist students in their efforts to make a significant contribution in this area, Stern created the Social Impact Internship Fund (SIIF), a financial stipend of up to $10,000, which supports first-year, full-time MBA students who wish to complete a summer internship working at the intersection of business and society, where they can use their business education to positively impact the broader world around them. SIIF recipients have worked with non-profit organizations, for-profit social enterprises, and started their own social ventures.

Requirements:

To be eligible for SIIF funds, students must:

1. Be at least one year away from graduating from the NYU Stern MBA program
2. Obtain a summer internship with a non-profit or for-profit enterprise in the social sector that can provide financial or in-kind support
3. Complete a SIIF application and interview with the Selection Committee

Students need not have secured an internship offer at the time of application to be selected as a Fellow, but receipt of funds is contingent on the SIIF Fellow accepting an eligible internship.
