IIP Funding Application
The IIP Funding Application should be used to apply for funding for an internship that students have created or found on their own. IIP does not support internships found through placement agencies.
The internship must be unpaid, a minimum of eight weeks long, and located outside of the U.S. Note that preference is given to first-time applicants. You must currently be fully enrolled as a Princeton freshman, sophomore, or junior to apply.
Note: Princeton University will not fund or sponsor undergraduate student travel to countries on the U.S. State Department Warning List or to countries where the United States has issued travel restrictions. Students who have a compelling educational reason to travel to such countries may submit a request for an individual travel exemption.The travel exemption process is a time intensive process. Travelers should allow at least four weeks for the review process.
