Sponsor an Ag Banking Intern in 2019! Would your bank be interested in sponsoring an ag banking intern next summer?

Students in the Agricultural Banking & Finance Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are required to complete an internship with a financial institution following their junior year of college. The role of the NBA is to identify our member financial institutions that are interested in sponsoring a summer intern. Interviews and arrangements for the internships must be completed during the fall semester. In addition, the NBA—through the association's University Foundation Allocation Committee—awards scholarships to students who are enrolled in this program. The overall objective of the student internship program is to provide the student with a wide range of learning opportunities and work-related banking experiences during their period of summer employment with a

Nebraska bank. We want the students to have a positive impression following their summer banking internship experiences so they will pursue a career in ag banking in Nebraska upon their graduation. Various accounting and ag finance courses are required to meet eligibility for an internship. The summer internship experience might include opportunities for the student to learn and/or gain work experiences in bank operations, ag lending, financial auditing, bank teller operations, drive-up window operations, customer deposit options and regulations, loan spreadsheet analysis, loan documentation, financial trend analysis, bank marketing strategies, customer promotions, and/or bank customer relations. Some banks offer the student additional learning opportunities in investments and real estate, insurance programs, and trust department operations.
