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 (including internships listed in Non-IIP Placements). 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. An award will be assigned to successful applicants based on the cost of living in the country of the internship.
