Freeman Foundation International Internship
Scholarships for Summer 2025 Academic Internships in Seoul, South Korea
and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Saint Michael’s College is pleased to announce the annual Global Citizenship International Internship Program, supported by a grant from the Freeman Foundation. On Monday, September 16, 2024, the College will begin accepting applications for scholarships to fund an academic internship in Seoul, South Korea and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (May – July, 2025). These scholarships will help offset the cost of internship placement, professional development support, travel, and housing in Seoul and Ho Chi Minh City. In addition to the time spent at the internship sites, students will have the opportunity to participate in a range of cultural and networking events organized by our local partners in South Korea and Vietnam. This international placement will count for a four-credit academic internship, which will include the completion of academic assignments submitted to the faculty supervisor, and Saint Michael’s will waive the summer tuition for a four-credit course.
Eligibility Requirements:
3.0 GPA or Higher
Open to All Majors
Current Sophomore or Junior Status (Class of 2026 or 2027)
Summer 2025 Application Deadline:
