SUMMARY:Applications being Accepted: Scholarships for paid internships in Estonia
DESCRIPTION:Applications are now being accepted for scholarships toward internships in Estonia for young Estonians (ages 18-35) living outside of Estonia. This program is being offered by the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ESTDEV. \n\n\n\nThe aim of the program is to give young people aged 18-35 who were either born abroad or have lived abroad for more than five years the opportunity to get to know Estonia better\, develop professionally in their field\, and network. Deadline for application is April 2\, 2025\, 11:59 pm (Estonian time) \n\n\n\nThe scholarship consists of a basic scholarship and\, if necessary\, a travel scholarship. The basic scholarship is intended for a full-time internship of at least 4 weeks. The amount of the grant is 1\,500 euros for 4-6 weeks and 3\,000 euros for 7+ weeks. If necessary\, an additional travel scholarship will be paid for one trip from your place of residence abroad to Estonia and back. The internship period is May 1 – November 30\, 2025. \n\n\n\nImportant to know: one element of the application is the availability of an internship in Estonia.
