Campus Alamance

Purpose

Campus Alamance summer internship program was launched in the summer of 2021 to provide a mutually beneficial opportunity for local businesses, non-profit organizations and government entities who have a need for talented interns within their workforce to host Elon University students who wish to gain valuable work experience within the local community.

Elon University is, once again, offering this paid summer internship program in Alamance County for summer 2025. The 2024 summer stipend was $3000 (before taxes are taken out). We will confirm 2025 stipend amount as soon as possible.
