There are many opportunities for Lehigh University students to gain hands-on experience in an international setting. For a complete listing, please refer to the Study Abroad website (www.lehigh.edu/~incis). Lehigh University’s International Internship for Global Leadership Program, as referenced here, specifically relates to two specific internship programs that provide students with full scholarships to participate in internship, research or practicum experience in organizations around the world. The program provides full-time, non-credit bearing experiences that run for four to twelve weeks over the summer, allowing for a true cultural immersion. The International Internship for Global Leadership Program is funded through the Iacocca Foundation and the Freeman Foundation.

A modest educational stipend may be available to students who demonstrate financial need (and which will be based upon the extent of need) in order to afford to participate in the International Internship Program. This stipend is meant to offset a portion of lost summer income, but not wholly replace that income dollar-for-dollar.
