Chancellor's Undergraduate Internship Program (CUIP)
Working with a mentor, CUIP interns take a lead role on a project or program important to the UCSC community. They participate in a weekly class designed to strengthen their leadership skills. Through the class they interact with the Chancellor and high ranking campus administrators, and make an array of peer contacts among student leaders. CUIP interns gain firsthand knowledge of the goals and operations of campus administration, and become powerful advocates in the campus community and beyond. Students work an average of 15 hours per week at these paid internships during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. This program is available to full-time UCSC students.

To accomplish this goal Crown College will provide 800 dollars for the fellowship. $600 will be provided as a fellowship to the student and $200 will be provided to the faculty member’s research account and may be spent for equipment and supplies for the research project. Eligibility is limited to juniors or seniors during the quarters for which they are applying and who have a good to excellent academic records. Either the student or faculty member must be affiliated with Crown College. Preference will be given to applications in which both parties are members of the Crown community.
