Spend a summer working in a U.S. Embassy in one of 90 locations
throughout the world! The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service's
International Internship Program is a PAID internship program and is in
need of applicants! As of this week, the program has only received 3
applications nationwide!

DUE TO THIS LOW NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO
MARCH 15TH!

The Foreign Agricultural Service's Internation! al Internship Program
provides college students the opportunity to live and work in a paid
internship at an American Embassy overseas. Through work assignments
participants learn various aspects of international trade, trade policy,
international relations, diplomacy, regional and cultural
considerations, etc. Positions are available in Western Europe, Latin
America, and Asia. The internship is offered every semester and summer
for graduate students and upperclassmen (juniors and seniors).
Requirements: Be a currently enrolled graduate or undergraduate student
(must be a junior or a senior), a U.S.citizen and in good academic
standing. Graduate level students in business, international relations,
regional studies (i.e. Latin American Studies, Asian Studies, etc),
public policy, foreign languages, etc., as well as high-achieving junior
and senior undergraduates in similar majors are particularly encouraged
to apply, though the program is open to all majors. Please see the
appli! cation at this website:
http://www.fas.usda.gov/admin/student/summerintern.htm

This internship program is a great way to get international experience
and expose yourself to career fields you may never have considered.
Please do not let any part of the application intimidate you! If you
need help, that's my job to help you. It is completely doable! Also, the
application states that you must pay for your own transportation to your
job site. If that is a financial problem, still apply and we'll see how
we can find you financial assistance. Again, if you have any questions
or you decide to apply PLEASE LET ME KNOW! And please pass this email on
to any other students or listserves. Thank you! Lillian Gorman Program
