YSU seeks to add 10 students internships for high-tech program

YOUNGSTOWN — Youngstown State University was able to get 36 student internships funded through Ohio’s Third Frontier program last year and would like to see that number jump by about 10 in the new fiscal year beginning July 1.

The university is one of 12 organizations and institutions approved by the state to serve as “brokers” of Ohio Third Frontier Internships Program funds for fiscal 2010.

The 12 will share in $1.5 million the State Controlling Board is being asked to approve for the program, the same funding level as this year.

“This is a program we have done very well with, historically,” said Martin Abraham, dean of YSU’s College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
