Any scholarships for summer intern housing?

I'm looking at a summer internship opportunity, but the housing costs are a bit scary. Are there scholarships or grants that could help cover the cost of intern housing over the summer? Would love to hear if anyone has experience with this!

One option you might consider is general-purpose scholarship funds that can be utilized to offset your housing costs. Although these funds might not be directly tagged as "housing scholarships," the money can be used in this way. Some examples include the "Courage to Grow" scholarship and the "No Essay" Scholarship from Appily. If you're eligible, these scholarships can help defray your housing costs.

Another possible resource would be your school's financial aid office. They might have information on school-specific scholarships or grants that can help you with housing costs over the summer. You should also check with the company you're interning at, as some companies offer housing stipends to their interns.

Furthermore, if you're involved in any student organizations, some organizations, especially national ones or those with alumni networks, offer scholarships to their members. These could potentially be used for summer housing.

Lastly, if the cost of living is high due to the location of the internship, you could explore options to reduce this expense - such as shared housing or opportunities in less expensive parts of the city. While not a direct scholarship, this could effectively reduce your cost of living while you're interning.

Remember that applying for scholarships can often be a numbers game, so don't be discouraged if you don't receive one right away. Keep applying and hopefully, you'll find a source of funding to support your summer internship housing. Good luck with your search!
