Elon’s Queen City Internship Grant provides funding for eligible students participating in the “Elon in Charlotte” summer or fall programs. Selected interns receive an internship stipend and an Elon Study USA grant, which can be used to help cover the costs of participating in the Elon in Charlotte program.
