Hey, I'm an international student interested in US internships that might offer scholarships or funding. Are there specific resources or programs that support international students in this area? Any leads would be super helpful!
Absolutely! Landing an internship as an international student can be a rewarding experience, but the associated costs can be daunting. Luckily, there are a few avenues you might explore to find scholarships or grants to help with funding. Here's what might be helpful:
1. School-Based Scholarships: Your U.S. university or college may offer scholarships for their international students undertaking internships. Be sure to check with your school's career services or center for International Education to see if they have any grants or stipends.
2. Grant Programs: A few independent organizations offer internship scholarships or grants to international students. For example, the Freeman Awards for Study in Asia (Freeman-ASIA) supports U.S.-based students who are interning in East or Southeast Asia.
3. Online Search: Platforms like Appily are an excellent way to search for scholarship opportunities. They allow you to create a personalized profile and match you with scholarships, some of which may apply to internships.
Remember to start your search early to ensure you meet application deadlines. Good luck!
