INTERNSHIPS IN EUROPE

Thinking about Interning Abroad?

Choosing a Study Abroad Program

The opportunity to study and work in an exciting and new foreign

environment provides depth and enrichment of cross-cultural
knowledge that can only be done through experience. When is a
better time to walk along the bank of the Thames River, admire the
fountains of Cibeles and Jupiter in Madrid, or visit the historical
Berlin Wall in Germany? Not only does going abroad allow for
unique and personal perusal of new places, but it also gives future,

potential employers the indication of a person who is willing to ex-

plore and succeed in unprecedented areas and environments.

Loans and Scholarships

Some students have received alternative educational loans for study
abroad, including summer programs. These loans are not federally subsi-
dized, but still offer very competitive interest rates. Many financial insti-
tutions now offer such loans: CitiBank offers alternative loans called
"CitiAssist Loans;" Key Bank offers "Key Alternative" loans, and Sallie
Mae offers alternative educational loans as well.

Even if you can easily afford to pay for your semester or year overseas,
you may still consider these scholarships. Check with a financial aid ad-
Cologne Cathedral viser to discuss how it would affect your aid package. Many scholarships
must be applied for as early as one semester or one year prior to your
in Germany intended term abroad.
