Intern Scholarship Winners Announced for 2022
This past summer, 64 interns joined Benesch as a part of our nine-week internship program designed to expand the students’ 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, the committee thought it was only right to offer a record number of scholarships. Twenty-five students were awarded $1,000 each, an increase from the nine awarded last year.
“The CSR Committee is always eager to recognize the incredible students that spend their summers working at Benesch,” said Greg Stewart, chair of Benesch’s Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. “I’m ecstatic that we’re able to support so many students as they pursue their engineering and planning careers.”

About the Summer Internship Program
Benesch’s Summer Internship Program integrates students into the company. The program is built to give them tools for the future and focuses on teaching skills that are critical in our industry.
