Where do all these great programs come from? Another incredible opportunity...
The Institute of International Education is pleased to announce the inauguration of an exciting new program. The Freeman Indonesia Nonprofit Internship Program (FINIP), funded by the Freeman Foundation, aims to develop student leaders and strengthen the nonprofit sector in Indonesia. IIE will select and pair 10 Indonesian students pursuing U.S. degrees with 10 U.S. undergraduates and arrange internships for them to work together in an Indonesian nonprofit organization.
The 9-week experience, from June 15 to August 17, 2010, arranged by IIE's partner organization, the Indonesian International Education Foundation (IIEF), will take place in three cities: Jakarta, Bandung and Yogyakarta. All program-related costs will be covered.
Upon returning to the U.S., students will be expected to share their experiences with peers on their home campuses and to explore ways to incorporate what they learned over the summer into their academic and professional careers.
Interested American and Indonesian sophomores and juniors enrolled in U.S. institutions are encouraged to apply, using the online application at http://www.iie.org/programs/finip. The deadline for submission of completed applications is February 15, 2010.
Please feel free to contact us at finip@iie.org or (212) 984-5542 with any questions. More information and a program flyer can be found at the program website at http://www.iie.org/programs/finip .
We appreciate the assistance of U.S. study abroad advisers, career counseling offices, and international student advisers in disseminating information to eligible sophomores and juniors about this exciting opportunity to further educational exchange between the United States and Indonesia.
