Intern Housing Program
The Intern Housing Program is a short-term housing program for students from other colleges and universities coming to Melbourne, Florida, for Summer Internships.
Applications are not currently being accepted. We hope to have applications open in February.
Please note that current Florida Tech students are not eligible for the Intern Housing Program and must contact Housing with all summer housing questions.

Interns are assigned a bedroom but may request an apartment roommate(s). University Events and Protocol reserves the right to make all housing assignments according to space availability.
Interns will need to provide their own bed linens, blankets, pillows, and towels. Interns are to maintain clean, safe, and orderly living conditions.

Should this policy be violated, a fine of $150 will be assessed, and the intern will be instructed to remove the pet from Florida Tech premises within 24 hours. Failure to remove the pet/or pay the fine will result in the University removing the animal at the intern's expense and losing their summer intern housing at Florida Tech.
