NGO Internship Funding Program
Because some students would like to do a structured internship with a non-governmental organization (NGO) that may not notify students of acceptance by the mid-February OGPH funding deadline, a letter of invitation may not yet be available. The letter of invitation will be required at the time of award, along with other required documents.
Applications for funding must still be submitted, in full, by midnight, Sunday February 19, 2023 at the OGPH website.
When submitting the application, use the internship description or scope of work to complete the internship title, location, and country. For your 2-page proposal, use that same description/scope of work to anticipate the kind of work you will be doing at the organization, also taking into consideration your skills and competencies.
All the following uploaded documents are required:
- Statement of purpose
- Resume/CV
- Proposed travel itinerary
- Estimated travel budget
- Transcript (unofficial)
- Letter of invitation/support
We will review your application along with the others and you will receive notification with all students in Mid-March. If awarded, your award will be pending receipt of the actual acceptance letter.
We realize that students sometimes apply for several internships and note that funds cannot be transferred to an internship that is different from the one reviewed. Please note the NGO internships may be highly competitive and if you are not chosen, you will not be able to apply OGPH funding to another internship.
