International Service Initiative Call for

Summer Project Proposals

The International Service Initiative (ISI), a program funded by a combined grant from the Pace Center for Community Service and the Office of Religious Life, invites Princeton University first, second and third year undergraduates to propose summer projects abroad, with a major emphasis on service and cross-cultural and/or interfaith understanding. Funding is available for projects lasting 8–12 weeks.  All students applying must fill out the standard IIP (International Internship Program) Funding Application Form; however, proposals for the ISI internships must be approved by representatives from the Pace Center and the Office of Religious Life.

The purpose of this grant is to permit students to spend an extended time immersed in another culture and/or religious setting, with proper preparation and disciplined reflection.  The objective of the internship initiative is to encourage cross-cultural and/or interfaith understanding and respect, and preference will be given to proposals that clearly serve this goal.

Interested students are invited to apply for funding using the application available at: http://www.princeton.edu/~iip/forms/applications.shtml 

The International Service Initiative reflects the principles that guide the Office of the Vice President for Campus Life in its support of international public service activities.  For further information regarding these principles, please go to: http://web.princeton.edu/sites/campuslife/Funding/International_Service_Initiative.htm
