Old Dominion University has received a two-year $100,000 grant from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) to fund federal work-study programs, the school announced Wednesday.
The federal work-study programs will function more like internships, according to ODU.
The university received a previous implementation planning grant in the spring of 2023. This grant will allow them to take the next steps with a test effort to transform some positions, ODU said.
“V-TOP is excited that Old Dominion University’s Center for Career & Leadership Development will continue work to transform Federal Work-Study with the pilot Federal Work-Study Internship Program in Fall 2024,” said Alisha Bazemore, assistant director of innovative work-based learning initiatives.
“This is a huge step in the direction of reducing barriers to internships for ODU students and a great stride toward the university’s goal for 100% student participation in a work-based learning experience,” added Lisa Moser, ODU’s associate director of the Center for Career & Leadership Development.
