Senior internships provide senior Scholars with a different perspective on
service than they might have experienced in previous work. The internship
takes place with an area not-for-profit organization. Through this
commitment, senior Scholars obtain substantive work experience, develop
meaningful contacts with like-minded professionals, and grasp a clearer
understanding of “life beyond college” as they prepare to enter the job
market upon graduation.
Senior Ingram Scholars serve as a non-voting board member or on an advisory
committee (if no board exists), of an area not-for-profit. While serving
as a non-voting member, Scholars actively participate in committee work
and other board or advisory initiatives.

 “Ingram Scholars are the paragon of the ideal Vanderbilt student - intelligent, but most importantly also passionate, engaged, and dedicated to serving their fellow beings. Ingram Scholars' commitment to service strengthens not only their own intellectual growth, but the growth of all the people who have the fortune to be their peers and colleagues. As a group and as individuals they fulfill the ambitious vision of the Ingram family with the strength and talent to be a force for evolutionary change in our world.”
