 INTERNSHIP & FELLOWSHIP
WHAT IS INTERNSHIP & FELLOWSHIP
An Internship is a professional learning experience that
offers meaningful, practical work related to a student's
field of study or career interest. An Internship can be
either paid or voluntary. 
 A Fellowship is not a scholarship and it’s not an
internship, but it is similar to both. It refers to short-
term professional or work opportunities offered to
students by certain organizations. They can last from a
few months to several years, with stipend.

 To develop professional contacts and make new

 To build a strong career foundation.
 To build a good resume to pursue higher studies or
