LSA International Internship Scholarship
An LSA International Internship Scholarship supports LSA students who participate in a Center for Global and Intercultural Study (CGIS) International Internship program. All of our internship scholarships are donor funded and based on financial need. Scholarship funds can help cover the cost of attendance and travel based on program budgets. LSA International Internship Scholarship awards vary in amount depending on the cost of a student's internship experience, and a student's demonstrated level of financial need. Funds cannot be awarded beyond what a student's aid package allows. The LSA Scholarships team works closely with CGIS and the Study Abroad team at the Office of Financial Aid to determine program costs and factor any other financial aid.
The LSA International Internship Scholarship application is open October 1 – March 1.
