Think Intern, a new internship search engine, resource, and scholarship website, is offering relief in the form of scholarship money to recent college graduates struggling to find a job.

Jeffrey Adler, co-founder of Think Intern, said the new $3,000 scholarship created by Think Intern and The Gallery Collection aims to offset the financial burdens of interning during a student’s college career.

“Based on the theme that ‘Today’s Interns are Tomorrow’s Leaders,’ the. . . [scholarship] focuses on how the current generation of interns is going to redefine the world,” Adler said. “In addition to the scholarship for the winning student, the competition aims to inspire both college students and the current generation of leaders.”

Qualifications are simple. All high school, college, and university students currently enrolled in an academic program are eligible for the Internship Stimulus Package. Members of the Armed Forces of the United States and home-schooled students are also encouraged to apply. All submissions must be from students who are at least 16 years of age at the time of entry.

To enter, click here. In a Twitter-esque twist, Adler said that entries are limited to 140 characters that answer the question, what makes your generation unique?

Think Intern has already begun to tweet out some of favorite submissions online. You can follow them @thinkintern.

Additionally, Adler said Think Intern hopes to submit the contest to the Guinness Book of World Records for the shortest written essay requirement for a scholarship competition.
