A new grant program through Drury University's Edward Jones Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is helping local companies hire interns and be in compliance with a federal law that requires private employers pay their interns, a Drury news release said.


 

In May, St. Louis-based financial-service firm Edward Jones donated $15,000 to the center to fund 10 interns at $1,500 each.

So far, six Drury University students and one Missouri State student are benefiting from the grants, as they work for Oxford Healthcare, Southwest Area Manufacturers Association, Urban Districts Alliance, Furniture Gourmet, web developer Classy Llama Studios and Wonders of Wildlife.
