Application Process and Deadline
The application process and deadline for endorsement and funding support will be shared directly with students studying in Abu Dhabi during the spring semester.
Funding Availability
Eligible students may receive a meal and housing allowance, applied as a credit to their bursar account. As funding is limited and competitive, it is not guaranteed. Applicants are required to submit a brief statement outlining their need and qualifications for consideration.
Zero-credit Course
Participants will be enrolled in a zero-credit, online directed study course that complements the internship experience.
Application Information
Applicaton information and deadlines will be shared in spring 2026.
