"In my internship, I gained practical exposure to credit environments and loan processing. I found deep fulfillment in knowing that my work directly supported the farmers and rural communities we serve. I enjoyed the hands-on exposure to credit processing and risk assessment, but what stood out most was the mentorship I received. My mentor helped me connect each analysis to the bigger picture, which clarified my goal of becoming a credit analyst and made the work feel deeply meaningful."

"This internship connected my training to a deeply personal purpose. After losing my three-year-old niece to an undiagnosed congenital heart defect, I became committed to improving maternal and child health. Working with the SC Birth Defects Program has shown me how early detection, high-quality surveillance, and data-driven decision-making can improve outcomes for children and families. I have enjoyed working in a collaborative and supportive environment where experienced epidemiologists have invested in my growth through mentorship and hands-on learning."

I enjoyed investigating how a distribution network can be reconfigured in response to different operating conditions and learning how digital twins can help researchers evaluate and improve the reliability of critical infrastructure."

evaluations provided opportunities for feedback and personal reflection in addition to the hands-on career experience gained through the internship itself. SCIP gave me the means to focus on professional growth without additional financial stress." Victoria Brook, Spring 2026 SCIP Recipient, PharmD Candidate, Class of 2028
