Cost

Billing Overview 

Global Interns are not billed Cornell tuition during their summer experiences. 

There may be nominal fees that you will pay directly to the host university, either before arrival or on-site. You will directly pay additional costs either prior to arrival or on-site. These may include visa fees, round-trip airfare, housing, meals, and other personal expenses. 

Financial Support

Each Global Fellow joining accepted into the Independent Internship Program MAY receive a monetary stipend up to $3,500 USD to offset some of the major internship-related expenses, including flights, housing, and food.  

Award amounts vary by program and are determined by several factors including, but not limited to, the number of weeks of internship and location.  The purpose of the stipend is to cover some of the major expenses. It is not intended as a monetary gain for Fellows. Global Fellows should budget wisely and be willing to financially contribute to their experience. 

Note: Students should be prepared to pay some out-of-pocket expenses that the stipend will not cover, and/or expenses required in advance such as housing deposits. See the budget below for estimated amounts.

Accepted fellows will need to set up direct deposit with the Bursar in order to receive funding.
