In order to apply for the IAESTE Placement Program, you must fulfill all of the eligibility conditions below. If you have questions concerning your eligibility, please contact us at iaeste@aipt.org.

• Internship Offer: You must have received a firm internship offer from an overseas employer. We cannot assist until a commitment has been made by the employer. Additionally, your employer must be prepared  to register with our counterpart office and pay any necessary fees, which vary by country.
• Training: The internship must be directly related to your field of study. Internships must also consist of 35 hours per week and be paid.
• Age: You must be at least 18 years of age at the time of application, and not more than 30. (This is the age mandated by IAESTE's international body.)
• Enrollment: You must be currently enrolled full-time in a Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. program at an accredited 4-year U.S. college or university at the time of application. We cannot accept recent graduates.
• Citizenship: You are not required to be a U.S. citizen to qualify for our assistance. International students studying in the U.S. are welcome to apply. However, some nationalities require additional visa or entry documents. Non-U.S. citizens/permanent residents must normally hold a valid U.S. visa and supporting documents (I-20/DS-2019/I-94) in order to receive a visa for the country of training (if applicable).
• Residence: You must be living in the United States at the time of application.
• Major: The Work Permit Service is designed primarily for students in technical fields of study (i.e. engineering, computer science, math, natural and physical sciences, architecture, and agricultural science.) However, we can assist students in other fields of study depending upon the country of training; please contact us at iaeste@aipt.org for current information.
