Ohio Means Internships & Co-ops (OMIC4)

Grant In August 2018, the Ohio Department of Higher Education awarded the STEM Careers, Internships & Co-ops office the Ohio Means Internships and Co-Ops (OMIC4) grant. The grant is designed to create professional internship or co-op experience for science students in Ohio’s private sector. Students that complete an eligible experience for course credit receive a $750.00 scholarship at the culmination of their experience. The participating employer will receive a $400.00 reimbursement. As of summer 2020, STEM Careers, Internships & Co-ops has had the opportunity to work with 5 interns and their employers through the OMIC4 grant to honor their wonderful work together.
