Internship & Community Service Award in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Award amount: at least $500

This award, conferred on an occasional basis, honors WGSS students’ extraordinary community service engagement, especially through dedicated service in an internship with WSU credit taken for the women’s, gender, and sexuality studies major or minor or queer studies minor.  Exceptional internship or community service not taken for credit may also be considered.

Any internship completed by women’s, gender, and sexuality studies majors or minors and queer studies minors between April 10, 2024 and April 10, 2025 is eligible for consideration. Self-nominations by WGSS majors and minors are appropriate and encouraged. WGSS faculty may also make nominations.

Applications should include the following documents in the nomination form:

  • An essay of approximately two pages (500 words) describing your internship or community service experience and how it connects to WGSS courses you’ve taken
  • A current CV or resume

Application deadline: April 11, 2025
