Summer Internships - SMIF, ESIP, and Eco-SIP

Funding for stipends through SMIF, ESIP, and EcoSIP is limited and awarded on a rolling basis. This page will be updated once funds are fully allocated for a given program. You may also contact the Program Directors to inquire about remaining funding availability: Linda Gerard (lgerard@stanford.edu) and Asritha Bobbala (abobbala@stanford.edu) for SMIF; Lisa Sweeney (sweeneyl@stanford.edu) for ESIP; and Elena Garidis (egaridis@stanford.edu) for EcoSIP.

Summer is an essential time to explore career opportunities and build critical skills. The Social Management Immersion Fund (SMIF), the Entrepreneurial Summer Internship Program (ESIP), and the Ecopreneurial Summer Internship Program (Eco-SIP) can support your 8-10 full-time week summer internship. 

SMIF and ESIP are available for Stanford GSB MBA students only, whereas Eco-SIP accepts graduate students from across the university.

Below, you’ll see the primary differences among the programs regarding theme and expected employer salary contribution:
