InFEWS Summer Travel Grant
Open to InFEWS Fellows Only
A student-arranged internship is a signature element of the InFEWS program, providing an opportunity for students to connect the theory and practice of poverty action and/or conducting research in the field. The intention is for students to gain valuable learning experiences through working with companies, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, or community projects that focus on various dimensions of food, water, and energy systems as they relate to poverty or a low resource setting.
Financial assistance to travel is available to offset travel expenses and living expenses. This is awarded through a formal application process, and is primarily need-based.
