URBAN SCHOLARS
THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS URBAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM introduces students enrolled in community or four year colleges who are residents of Minneapolis to local government and public service. The ten week program begins May 21, 2012 and ends August 17, 2012 and offers full-time internships in City government. Scholars are paid a taxable stipend of $4,000. This is a unique opportunity for students to work with City government officials to give them an understanding of the structure of City government.
The Department provides educational services about civil rights. For speakers, videos, literature and other materials about civil rights issues, call (612) 673-3012.
