CAMP Scholar Internship Program (CSI)

CSI is a collaboration with University Housing & Dining Services. The program combines leadership training with hands-on and practical intern experience during the academic year. CSIs work in specific UHDS units. The internship consists of ten hours of work, including meetings and other active program experiences, which will provide an opportunity for the CSIs to develop and practice skills that help them succeed as students and community members of Oregon State University and meet the learning outcomes of the program.

The CSI program is an additional program associated with CAMP. The benefits include a partial room grant (estimated value between $8,370 - $9,810 dependent on chosen hall), individualized mentorship, leadership training, and professional development. To apply to this program, you will need to complete question five of the CAMP application as well as a sign the UHDS Terms and Agreement. 

*If you are selected as a Ford Scholar by the Ford Family Foundation, and you are applying or have been selected into CAMP Scholar Internship, you must withdraw CSI.

"Overall, my experiences as a CAMP student have been great. I have built a strong sense of belonging during my time here, and the program's support has been very helpful. Any time I have a question or a concern, CAMP has always been there to support me throughout my journey as a college Student. Their values to help students succeed and overcome obstacles and challenges resonate most resonates with me." ~ Jose Becies

"CAMP was the most influential experience during my time in college. I arrived as a reserved student and blossomed into a leader. Through this program, I was able to find a second family to support me throughout my time here at OSU. With the help of this program, I was exposed to many amazing opportunities that I could not have ever imagined myself in. The support I received from my CAMP family allowed me to understand the importance of community." ~ Ismael Ochoa

 

"CAMP provided me with the academic, financial, and social support to complete my degree. I continue to use the experiences I had with CAMP in my professional life. I would pick this program at this school over and over again."
