The Summer Public Interest Fund (SPIF) enables first-year Wharton MBA students to pursue summer internships in the public sector by supplementing basic salary needs. The fund is financed by first-year students who pledge 1-2% of their summer salaries in support of their fellow classmates.  Sample internships include:

 

·          New York’s Office of New Schools

 

·          Foundation for International Community Assistance in Africa

 

·          William Penn Foundation in support of Philadelphia communities

 

Fund recipients’ total summer compensation for a 10 week program must not exceed $10,000 including funding from alternative sources.  Donations are tax-deductible and allow for the Wharton MBA to help those who need it most.
