Pathways Scholars Program
The Pathways Scholars Program helps students pursue exciting 8-week, in-person internship opportunities in designated host cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, D.C. during the summer.
By working directly with industry and sector leaders, students can gain practical experience, develop marketable skillsets, and build valuable connections.
In each city, students will be guided by a faculty member and meet local Emory alumni working in the industry, adding another layer of networking and mentorship.
These cohort experiences provide funding toward the cost of travel and housing for each student.
