Abstract	The Grambling State University Minority Management Internship in Aging program described in this report was designed to provide internships to social work students to aid the minority elderly.

Appendices provide tables of statistical data supporting the report; list the host agencies and interns; and provide samples of the letters of agreement, conference reports, and intern performance evaluation form.
