I N T E R N S H I P S I N E U R O P E Thinking about Interning Abroad?

The opportunity to study and work in an exciting and new foreign

environment provides depth and enrichment of cross-culturalknowledge that can only be done through experience. When is a

better time to walk along the bank of the Thames River, admire the

fountains of Cibeles and Jupiter in Madrid, or visit the historical

Berlin Wall in Germany? Not only does going abroad allow for

unique and personal perusal of new places, but it also gives future,

potential employers the indication of a person who is willing to ex-

plore and succeed in unprecedented areas and environments.

Choosing a Study Abroad Program

Loans and Scholarships

Some students have received alternative educational loans for studyabroad, including summer programs. These loans are not federally subsi-dized, but still offer very competitive interest rates. Many financial insti-tutions now offer such loans: CitiBank offers alternative loans called"CitiAssist Loans;" Key Bank offers "Key Alternative" loans, and SallieMae offers alternative educational loans as well.

Even if you can easily afford to pay for your semester or year overseas,you may still consider these scholarships. Check with a financial aid ad-viser to discuss how it would affect your aid package. Many scholarshipsmust be applied for as early as one semester or one year prior to yourintended term abroad.
