Planning on investing in a WFH rig but also one for next semester as it doesn't seem like a semester on campus is going to work out. Anyone know if any banks have announced this? Planning on investing in my own rig to have but not sure if I want to go all out especially if WFH isn't going to become the more prevalent in the near future/we're given laptops.

Laptop stipend: close to 0 (edited to specify laptops, banks will probably give stipends for monitors/keyboards)
Lots of information security concerns if the bank’s IT department doesn’t have admin control over the laptop. You’re also only officially using it during the summer. We used different laptops from my internship vs when I started FT. Banks won’t want to eat that expense for 10 weeks of work let alone the shortened internship period.
VPN: more likely something like Citrix where you’re remote accessing MS office rather than using it locally on your computer. This won’t have the same IT concerns as using a laptop that the bank doesn’t control and having it connect to a VPN but I personally hated using Citrix
