Campus Microfinance Alliance summer program
Posted by on January 16, 2012
About:
In partnership with The Aspen Institute, the Campus Microfinance Alliance announces Lend for America, a new summer program for undergraduates interested in microfinance, social entrepreneurship, and financial services.
Students spend the summer in a peer learning environment at a leading microfinance organization to gain hands-on experience with domestic microfinance. Part way through the summer, interns travel to a large-scale microfinance organization in the US for a 3 day site visit. After the summer, we work with the student leader to start a new Campus MFI. Interns receive a $2500 stipend and all travel expenses are paid.
