TPW students often apply their writing skills they are learning in the classroom to work with industry, community, and nonprofit partners. TPW students complete internships, experiential learning courses, and independent study projects. Here, you’ll find summaries of students’ work and lists of internships available for TPW students.
If you are a TPW student interested in finding an internship that fits your interests and schedule, please reach out to the program director, Kari Campeau, at kari.campeau@ucdenver.edu.
TPW Students' Internships - Past Highlights
Where have TPW students interned before? What kind of work have interns done? This section highlights past students’ internship experiences and accomplishments.
Office of Research Services Grant Writing Internship
ORS Grant writing interns work on faculty research teams to plan, write, revise, and manage grant proposals. Interns worked on all stages of the grant writing cycle, including prospecting, contacting program officials, writing original proposals, revising existing proposals, and revising proposals with program reviewer feedback.
Interns have contributed to complex grant projects written for large, federal funders, including NEH, NIH, NSF, NEA, and PCORI, as well as foundations and local grants. The program has expanded to include community partnerships, and interns also partner with nonprofits and community groups to plan, write, and submit grant proposals.
