USA2Holland Internship Grant: Career Internships for Low-Income Students

The USA2Holland Internship Grant provides funding for high-achieving and low-income American college students to intern in Netherlands. The grant provides up to $10,000 in direct financial support through a monthly stipend, travel reimbursement, and visa support so you can attain this once-in-a-lifetime experience without financial worry.

This application is for applicants interested in an internship longer than 3 months. If you wish to pursue an internship shorter than 3 months, please submit an application for a Summer Internship. Submissions to the Career Internships track are reviewed on a rolling basis.
