PRESIDENTIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
The American University in Cairo
The Program
Established in 1981, the Presidential Internship Program at The American University in Cairo (AUC) provides recent university graduates the opportunity to spend an academic year working at the highest levels of an international university, learn Arabic, and experience life in Cairo.
Working at AUC
Interns work full-time in one of seven university offices, such as the Office of Sustainability and the Research Institute for a Sustainable Environment. Interns in these offices are involved in multiple sustainability projects, both on campus and in the community at large, and conduct research on and promote sustainable practices across the university and Egypt.
Benefits
Program benefits include a monthly living stipend, faculty housing, private Arabic tutoring, subsidized trips around Cairo and Egypt, and more.
Applying
We have traditionally accepted a diverse array of students, including those with no background in Arabic or Middle Eastern Studies. Interested students should view the attached brochure and visit our website for more information on the program and how to apply. They can also visit our Facebook page and blog. The application is due January 15, 2015.
