Internship Overview

The Commission for Higher Education Financial Aid Intern will work primarily as a member of the Postsecondary Transitions team supporting the implementation of the 21st Century Scholars program and increasing FAFSA filing for high school seniors and postsecondary students. The position will report to the Director for Postsecondary Program Implementation. There are three pillars guiding the CHE HOPE Agenda – college enrollment, college completion, and college graduate retention – and the 21st Century Scholars programs and FAFSA filing address all three.

 

The intern will collaborate internally with the K-12 Outreach, State Financial Aid, Marketing and Communications, and Public Policy teams, and externally with K-12 and higher education partners. Following the 2023 legislative session, CHE will automatically enroll all eligible students into the 21st Century Scholars program for which high school seniors are required to submit the FAFSA. The intern will assist with increasing eligible students’ engagement in the 21st Century Scholars program and FAFSA filing to increase college-going, utilization of state financial aid, and college completion.
