does anyone know of any scholarship opportunities for a summer, 8 weeks, internship in another country?
I'm going to intern over in Taipei, Taiwan this summer for 8 weeks and I'm looking for some scholarships for it.

so it'll be greatful if anyone knows of any scholarship for that!

not much help here, but usually when you intern, don't they (the company) pay at least enough stipend for living expenses? scholarships usually are given for studies, not interning. i only know of the Fulbright Scholarship that would pay for graduating seniors to go overseas to learn/teach.

What kind of internship is it? As the above poster mentioned, there are scholarships for doing volunteer or charity-like work in other countries, but not for any type of jobs. Plus, the company usually pays you, and pays you well since for many companies, the idea of hosting interns is to sell them on working here after graduation. For example, my employer paid our 2008 summer interns (undergrads) $5k / month, which should be enough. When I was in school, the career center knew about scholarship opportunities; perhaps ask them?

actually. MOST company do not pay for internships. Why? Because the purpose of an internship is a real-life education. Base on that reason alone, the majority of companies do not pay their interns.
Companies that DO, however, pay, are really hard to get. On the other hand, other people with higher experience and are still interning do get paid as well.
There are some other companies that do pay but they are very sly at it. They will twist up your pay so that even though it may seem like you are earning your money through hourly wage, the company are making sure that they are not losing any profit by giving you wages.

As for what type of internship it is, it is a Marketing internship.
My internship is not offering my anything except for paid food while I am working.

I mean honestly, I was just asking if there are scholarship so I can bring extra money.
The international marketing internship, whether paid or unpaid, it's good to have on my resume.

Looks like it's time for a loan.

and just for the record, most business internships are paid and interns are paid fairly well for the position.
