Through the generosity of alumnus Charles Robins, Johns Hopkins University offers funding for selected students to gain business experience through summer internships in East, Southeast, or South Asia. Each award recipient will be granted up to $5,000 (prorated by week) with which to pay airfare and living expenses during the internship. Award recipients have the option of earning one credit for completion of the appropriate academic work related to the internship with the approval of a faculty sponsor. Internships must be a minimum of 10 weeks, and students are expected to develop their own internships.
Robins Eligibility: Must be a full-time Hopkins undergraduate with at least two years of college-level schooling or the equivalent in a foreign language appropriate to the internship. The application is typically due in mid-February. Additional application information for the Robins Internship Grant is available from the Career Center.
