Summer Internship Program
Through the Kellogg Institute Internship Program, Notre Dame undergraduates are offered a variety of opportunities to gain hands-on experience with policy institutes, non-governmental organizations and various businesses that will better equip them to function in an increasingly globalized world. Students may work with organizations within Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States. Participation in the program allows students to improve their language skills, learn about major policies and issues facing these regions and gain real world experience in their chosen field.
Details
Students spend a minimum of eight weeks with their host institution. Dates of internships vary. Some programs have set requirements while dates for other organizations are arranged between the supervisor and the intern. Check location pages for specific information. (See Locations and Descriptions.) Students receive an award to cover transportation and living expenses. While funding, in some cases, may exceed expenses, students should NOT expect to receive extra funding.
Eligibility
Preference is given to students completing their junior year but sophomores and freshmen may apply. Students are not eligible for more than one award. Kellogg internships are available to Notre Dame undergraduate students.
Requirements
Students applying for internships should be highly motivated, self-starters with a great deal of initiative and the ability to think creatively. Most internships require students to develop projects (with guidance from the host organization) and to problem-solve in determining how to complete the project.
Students should have a good working command of the language of the country where they will intern and good general background knowledge of the region. Most US-based internships require proficiency in a second language (usually Spanish). Specific skills are required for individual organizations. For more information, see Locations and Descriptions.
Additional intern opportunities may be available for qualified students. See Entrepreneurial Internships
