2025 Summer Impact Interns
This year, Business+Impact is supporting 27 students through its Summer Fund in a variety of summer internship experiences. Each summer, Business+Impact awards competitive grants for summer internships to MBAs and BBAs in the Ross School of Business as well as MPP students in the Ford School of Public Policy. MBA funding comes from the Give-A-Day Fund, a student-led MBA pay-it-forward fund, and from the Gordon Impact Entrepreneurship Fund, which provides support for BBA or MBA student internships with ventures or funders seeking to create societal impact.
