Summer Internships
The International Community Outreach Program (ICOP) receives funding from the John Molson Graduate Students’ Association (JMGSA) to send interns abroad.
Locations: Columbia and Uganda
Historically, $2000 has been awarded per student. The amount is released only upon fulfilling specific requirements set by ICOP.
" I can say without a doubt that the 3 months I spent in Uganda were the best summer days of my life! I can’t thank ICOP enough to have given me this humbling opportunity. For a culturally open-minded Indian as me, to work with two Canadian interns and three Ugandan interns was an experience of a lifetime."
