To encourage global experiences with mission-driven impact, Harris offers travel grants up to $1,000 to cover travel-related costs for paid or unpaid international (non-U.S) internships in the non-profit and public sector. Due to limited funds, the travel grant requires a formal application with no guarantee of funding. The Career Development Office evaluates applications based on eligibility, and scope of work. We prioritize internships that are mostly in-person or hybrid. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
