Is financing your degree program getting a bit too difficult? Consider the loans offered through the Franklin Lindsay Student Aid Fund. For U.S. citizens who are registered full-time, loans of $7,000 per year are available, and similar sums are available for subsequent years of study. They carry no interest expense until four months after you finish your degree or terminate your registration, at which time interest begins at a 4% simple and fixed rate, and a relatively long repayment schedule is established.

Applications must be accompanied by three letters of recommendation, and each loan must carry a co-signer. Serving McCombs as one of the two loan committee members at U.T. is Dr. Robert Mettlen, Lamar Centennial Professor Emeritus in Finance (robert.mettlen@mccombs.utexas.edu). Consult the program’s website at www.franklinlindsay.org for information and application materials. Questions may be directed to Professor Mettlen.

We’ve received a lot of questions recently regarding the internship course, BA 353H. So here’s what you need to know: All BHP students are required to complete the internship course (pass/fail only) in order to graduate. The internship requires the completion of 160 work hours and attendance at a mandatory internship orientation with Dr. Cox. In addition, students must turn in a detailed journal describing daily internship activities, an employer documentation form, an internship summary form, a current resume, and a term paper describing the student’s internship experience and its impact on the student’s career plans. All materials must be submitted in a three-ring term paper cover by September 15^th (if completed internship in summer), November 15^th (if completed in fall), or April 15^th (if completed in spring). All internships must be approved BEFORE the student begins his/her internship at the following link: http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/udean/advising/internships/register.asp.
