About the
Fellowship
The PInT Summer 2022 Fellowship is a fully-funded program that will allow up to three of Olin College’s engineering students to work at public interest organizations and advance Olin’s mission to do work for the good of the world.
​
PInT Fellows can choose to do summer internships at public interest organizations such as government offices, public institutions, non-profits, community-based organizations, advocacy campaigns, foundations, environmental organizations, and more, and allows them to work with organizations that may not normally hire engineering interns.
​
Upon the completion of the fellowship, students will credibly engage other students at Olin in seeing the wider applications for their skills in PIT-themed work. We want you to have the opportunity to potentially affect positive change at an organization that is doing things you are passionate about.

What do organizations gain?
Are you interested in adding a summer intern from engineering fields to your team? We’re offering a fully-funded stipend for three students from Olin College of Engineering to be placed in public interest organizations. All Olin students do hands-on, team-based work in multiple engineering domains from their first days at Olin and are selected for our community by demonstrating a collaborative, open-minded disposition in addition to their STEM training.
​
We’re looking for organizations where our fellows can collaborate with others and contextualize their work in different disciplines.
