application deadline</u><br>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Noon, 4-104<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Fellowships and Internships programs
both support MIT students working on capacity-building service
projects around the world. Fellows and Interns work with
community-focused organizations such as non-profits, government
offices, international aid agencies, schools, grassroots groups,
student-initiated service enterprises and even for-profit businesses
if the business is using a social-entrepreneurship model to address
the needs of an under-served community. Students in these programs
receive a stipend for their work, which typically goes towards living
and travel expenses. MIT students can request support and
funding for Fellowships or Internships over the summer, IAP, or during
the semester. <i>For more information, visit </i><a
