Internship FAQ’s
Question: Is housing available?

interns are solely responsible for the housing costs. The options include
living on campus in a dorm room at UW-Madison or subletting. Please reach out to doadpmswsdip@wisconsin.gov for
more information.
Question: Are SWSDIP internships competitive?
Answer: Yes, SWSDIP internships are competitive, meaning that we have more people who apply for internships than we have internships available.

does it end?
Answer: Internships usually start the week of May 19,
2025, and end by August 15, 2025. There is some flexibility around the start
