Student Opportunities

The Indo-Pacific Policy Lab Internship Support Fund provides supplemental Summer Quarter support for Stanford undergraduate and graduate students who secure internships in the field of Indo-Pacific security and policy. Funding is intended to assist students with unpaid internships or internship-related expenses that exceed the host organization’s stipend.

​

Please note that funding is competitive and limited; not all applicants will receive an award.

​

Eligibility

• Open only to currently enrolled Stanford undergraduate and graduate students.

• Students must have an internship offer related to Indo-Pacific security or policy.

• Funding supports both unpaid positions and cases where internship-related expenses exceed provided stipends.
   

Funding Range

​Awards typically fall within the range of $2,500–$8,000, depending on available funding and demonstrated need.

​

Expenses beyond the awarded amount remain the responsibility of the student.

Eligible uses include housing near the internship site, local transportation, required travel, and meal support when not otherwise provided.
