How to Apply
All Global Interns receive an award totaling at least $3,000 for airfare, transportation, and living expenses. A portion of the stipend may be paid directly to the in-country host to support housing, food, and local transportation. Find specific funding information on each internship’s Experience page.
The internship opportunities you'll find on this website are managed by the Einaudi Center and Office of Global Learning, both part of Global Cornell. See what Einaudi has in store for undergraduates.
1Explore internships and select your top pick.
Start by exploring all Global Internships, identifying locations, topics, and job responsibilities that interest you. Each internship is listed in Experience, where you can compare opportunities in depth.
Narrow your focus to one preferred internship that builds on your academics and interests—and a backup option, if desired. You'll apply to your top selection. If you'd like to be considered for an alternative placement, the application lets you indicate an optional second choice.
Need advice?
Internship advisors are based in the Einaudi Center and Office of Global Learning. Find the advisor's name in the Snapshot section of your preferred internship's Experience page. In Cornell Chatter, select "Global Internships" to schedule an appointment with your advisor. You can also reach out by email with questions.
Your college advisor and Cornell Career Services can help you prepare a strong application with clearly articulated skills and experiences.
