The Kott Gerontology Scholars Program exists today because of the generous support of the The Russell & Josephine Kott Memorial Charitable Trust and our partner agencies which have been an integral part of the program since its inception. The following partner agencies regularly host–and often hire–Kott Scholar interns:
Many agencies in the Chicagoland area provide high-quality older adult services and offer internship experiences. KGSP will continue considering additional nonprofit host agencies working with and/or on behalf of older adults, meeting quality and supervision-related criteria and demonstrating their capacity to provide a supportive and meaningful internship experience.
Host agencies receive a stipend of $4,500 per Scholar to help offset direct and supervision related costs. Beginning in the 2023-24 school year, KGSP will be executing agreements with its host agencies.
