Eligibility
The Foundation is looking for students who are interested in pursuing a career involving the Asian region and are willing to engage with the Foundation’s professional development programmes after they return.
The internships are aimed at students studying business and STEM subjects.
What's covered?
The costs related to running the internships are shared between the Foundation, host organisation and the interns, who make a contribution to their living expenses.
The Foundation, in conjunction with the host organisation, assists the interns with obtaining appropriate visas and provides pastoral care during the internship.
When do the internships take place?
The internships are advertised from the beginning of semester two and the selection process takes place in the middle months of the year.
Most students go offshore in late November/beginning of December, although some may go in the New Year and stay offshore for part of semester one or longer. The internships are for three months.

Applicants should be willing to:
- take out appropriate travel insurance (subsidised by the Foundation)
- contribute $500 to their living costs
- contribute a 600-word article with photographs for the Foundation’s website while offshore or soon after returning
