Submit the following documents after your Online Application is processed:

• Home university authorization. Your on-campus study abroad or academic advisor can fill out the Home university authorization. If you will not be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program, or will graduate prior to the INODEV Summer Internship start date, this form is not required.
• Summer internship approval form. This form allows you to select whether you plan to enroll in the internship program for credit. Consult with your advisor on campus to understand your college/university’s requirements for earning credit for your internship.​​​​​​​
• Cover Letter. This letter should not be addressed to INODEV. Instead, it should be targeted toward prospective internship hosts in the field in which you would like to work. Your letter will allow potential host organizations to better understand your interest, skills, and background experience.
• Placement interest form. This form will ask you about your goals and objectives for the internship placement, as well as information about how to best contact you throughout the placement process. Our internship staff will use this as a starting point for matching you with a host employer.
• Transcript(s) for each college/university you have attended since high school. If you have multiple transcripts.
• Resume
• Professional letter of reference (optional). Submit a letter of reference from a previous employer or supervisor.

• Professor recommendation letter. Although there is no length requirement, the recommendation must indicate a professor’s opinion of the applicant’s academic ability to pursue university-level coursework in a foreign country, in addition to any information that would help INODEV gain a better understanding of the applicant.
• Personal academic essay. Although there is no length requirement, the essay must address your CGA/GPA, any particular academic challenges faced, reasons you chose this INODEV abroad program, and how it fits into your academic career.
