In addition, applications are now available for the new Freeman 
Indonesia Nonprofit Internship Program 
<http://www.iie.org/Template.cfm?Section=Programs_Portal&Template=/Activity/ActivityDisplay.cfm&activityid=537>, 
funded by the Freeman Foundation. This program aims to develop student 
leaders and strengthen the nonprofit sector in Indonesia. The Institute 
of International Education (IIE) will select and pair 10 Indonesian 
students pursuing U.S. degrees with 10 U.S. sophomores & juniors and 
arrange internships for them to work together in an Indonesian nonprofit 
organization. In addition to the practical internship experience, U.S. 
participants will be enrolled in an Indonesian language and culture 
course. Indonesian participants will complete an online course 
introducing them to NGOs, their purpose and their administration. As 
part of the 9-week experience, from June 15 to August 17, 2010, the 
Freeman Interns will participate in a three-day orientation and a final 
capstone seminar in Jakarta, organized by IIE?s partner organization, 
the Indonesian International Education Foundation (IIEF). Internships 
and coursework will be arranged by IIEF in three cities: Jakarta, 
Bandung and Yogyakarta. All program-related costs 
<http://www.iie.org/Template.cfm?Section=Programs_Portal&template=/Activity/ActivityDisplay.cfm&ActivityID=537&AMenuID=4> 
will be covered. Upon returning to the U.S., students will be expected 
to share their experiences with peers on their home campuses and to 
explore ways to incorporate what they learned over the summer into their 
academic and professional careers.
Applicants may be in any academic field. Internships may be available 
in, but are not limited to, the following fields: Arts, Economic 
Development, Education, Environmental Protection, Public Health, Others.
Applicants must meet ALL of the following eligibility requirements:

    * be a U.S. citizen or Indonesian citizen (US permanent residents
      are not eligible)
    * be currently enrolled as a full-time sophomore or junior pursuing
      their first bachelor's degree at a U.S. college or university
