BU GDP Summer in the Field Fellowship

Are you interested in conducting field research or participating in an internship on issues related to supporting financial stability, human well-being, and environmental sustainability across the globe?

The Global Development Policy Center’s Summer in the Field Internship Program provides summer stipends to a select group of qualified Masters and/or PhD students to participate in unpaid internships or conduct field research for a dissertation project. This program enables students to take advantage of unpaid internship opportunities or field research that would otherwise have been financially unfeasible. 

Application Requirements

  • Applicants must be Masters or PhD candidates with strong academic records and returning to classes in the Fall of 2021.
  • The internship must be related to the mission of the GDP Center.
  • The internship cannot be part of a ‘for-credit’ class in any of BU’s schools.
  • The internship must take place during the summer of 2021 for a minimum total of 200 hours on site.
  • The internship must be unpaid (not including the stipend from the Center).
  • International students are subject to ISSO regulations and/or approval.
