Applications for fall 2026 are open
In your application, you can list up to three Work U opportunities. You are not required to select three opportunities, but doing so increases your chances of placement. If you are only interested in one of the Work U opportunities, select that opportunity as your first choice and do not select a second or third choice.
Please review the application instructions and let us know how we can support your application, resume, or any other questions you have. Again, this program is open to ALL undergraduate students regardless of major or previous experience. The application will require that you upload a PDF of your resume, and that you share information about why you are interested in each opportunity.
Go to the traditional Work U application to apply for up to the three Work U opportunities:
Scholarship Opportunity
Work U provides a limited number of scholarships each semester.
These $1,000 per semester scholarships are intended to provide support to students who may not have the opportunity to engage in unpaid experiential learning opportunities due to financial barriers. In order to be considered for a scholarship, please be sure to answer the optional scholarship questions included in the application form. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a scholarship for all unpaid internships at this time.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at worku@boisestate.edu.
Want to participate in Work U, but already have an internship?
If you are already working, serving or volunteering with an organization and can identify a professional mentor, this program may be for you.
