Program funding
IndiaInternships.com seeks to make this program accessible to students by securing funding in the form of scholarships to cover the majority of the expenses associated with the feature-rich program.
Where scholarships are not available, students are responsible for the program fee (please contact IndiaInternships.com for current program fees). Past students have been successful in securing partial or full grants from academic departments, alumni internship funds, grants from past employers and philanthropic organizations.

Please note that some items may be partially or fully covered by scholarship-funded internships. As each internship offer is unique, IndiaInternships.com advises discussing each situation directly in order to clarify the associated costs and the funding assistance that may be available.
Post-Acceptance
If accepted, a confirmation deposit of $400 must be received by IndiaInternships.com in order to secure your position and to cover prepayment of education and administrative expense.
Once accepted, IndiaInternships.com will coordinate with the host company to secure travel reservations to and from India. This should be done as early as possible, as many routes frequently sell out. Additionally, interns will receive a detailed program guide that provides a detailed check list of pre-departure tasks as well as helpful travel planning information and pre-departure reading materials.
