2008-2009 Budget Estimate
Public Service Internship Program

Please use the following figures as estimates of your expenses for participating in a Public Service Internship (formerly Albany Semester Program), Assembly Intern Program or NYS Senate Session Program.  These costs are based on full-time enrollment (12-15 credits) and are not applicable to part-time internships. 
The estimated costs would probably exceed your regular budget if you were not living in Albany (meals, wardrobe, higher rent in the Albany area etc.).  Costs will differ for each intern based on his/her housing and transportation arrangements.

NOTE:  If you feel your real expenses will exceed the estimated figures, you should contact the Financial Aid Office at SUNY Brockport.  You should give the Financial Aid Office this budget and a copy of your letter of acceptance.   Estimated figures for a semester of the 2007-2008 academic year in Albany include:
