About the Programs

Internships in the Valley

The Internships in the Valley program is tailored for master's students, PhD candidates, and recent graduates from Dutch universities who are interested in doing a (paid) internship in the U.S. They offer support with the internship search, visa application, pre-departure preparation, and mentorship by an industry professional.

The Netherland-America Foundation

The Netherland-America Foundation seeks to further strengthen the bonds between our two countries through exchange in the arts, sciences, education, business, and public affairs. As part of this mission, the NAF provides funding to high-achieving Dutch students from low-income backgrounds to pursue an internship in the U.S. through the Dutch2USA Internship Grant, as well as a number of other internship grants. The NAF also works closely with Internships in the Valley to help interns secure their J-1 visa to legally work in the U.S.
