CHICAGO, IL – This past summer, Benesch once again welcomed a group of student interns to join us for a summer filled with learning opportunities. Over 80 interns joined Benesch as a part of our nine-week internship program designed to expand their skill sets and provide valuable hands-on experience. The interns are encouraged to apply for the Student Intern Scholarship offered by Benesch’s Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.

With a record number of interns, Benesch expanded the scholarship program to offer a record number of scholarships. A total of 57 students were awarded $1,000 each, more than double the number awarded last year.

To apply for the $1,000 scholarship, applicants were asked to reflect on the progression of their knowledge over the course of the summer. After reviewing the applications and consulting with the management team, 57 high-performing interns received the scholarship:
