At Penn State Altoona, a full-time internship coordinator works one on one with students, faculty members, and community organizations and businesses to facilitate internships. Several bachelor’s degrees require a senior-level internship. For others, an internship may count as the major’s “capstone” course. Exploratory internships are available for sophomores and juniors, as well.

VETERANS AFFAIRS altoona.psu.edu/veterans C105 Smith Building | 814-949-5282 | jxf15@psu.edu Penn State Altoona values the contributions that veterans and active duty service members make to the classroom and to the University. The Veterans Affairs Office assists students in accessing their education benefits through one of several programs. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) makes the final determination regarding eligibility of a student to receive education benefits. For more information or to apply for benefits visit www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/. Once a student applies and qualifies for VA education benefits, he/she will receive an Award Letter or Certificate of Eligibility from the VA. The receipt of the letter from the VA does not automatically begin the payment process. Students must submit a copy of the letter to Penn State Altoona’s Veterans Affairs Office. PDFs of the Certificate of Eligibility can be emailed to jxf15@psu.edu along with the admissions application or PSU ID. Upon submission of the Certificate of Eligibility, the student will have other forms to complete. While a student only needs to apply to the VA once, campus forms must be completed every semester to receive benefits. Other Information • Once the VA approves a student for education benefits, the student must request to use their benefits each semester.
