Global Development Policy Center

  • By: Michael Williams
Sponsored by the Boston University Global Development Policy (GDP) Center, the Summer in the Field Fellowship Program provides stipends of $6,000-$8,000 to a select group of qualified BU Masters and/or PhD students to participate in unpaid summer internships or conduct field research for dissertation projects.

The program enables students to take advantage of unpaid internship opportunities or field research that would otherwise be financially unfeasible. Applicants undergo a competitive selection process for a limited number of stipends.

 

Application requirements:

  • Applicants must be BU Masters or PhD candidates with strong academic records and returning to classes in Fall 2023.
  • Applicants must obtain a letter of recommendation from a GDP Center Core or Affiliate Faculty Member.
  • The internship/fieldwork must be related to the GDP Center’s mission of advancing policy-oriented research on financial stability, human well-being and environmental sustainability across the globe.
  • The internship/fieldwork must take place during the summer of 2023.
  • The internship/fieldwork must be unpaid (not including the stipend from the Center).
  • International students are subject to ISSO regulations and/or approval.

📅 Applications close on March 24, 2023.
