ISUL Internship abroad for HNU students and alumni
Go abroad with the ISUL scholarship
Through the DAAD’s (opens in a new window)funding programme “International Startup League (opens in a new window)” we can award scholarships for internships abroad to HNU students. HNU graduates can also apply if it has been only 24 months since their graduation at the start of their internship. The scholarship covers travel and accommodation costs in the chosen country for one or two months. In 2024, we can support a one-month internship and a two-month internship with our scholarship. The internships can take place in the following countries: Finland, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Greece, Canada, Chile or Israel.

Information about the Scholarship
Finding an internship abroad
Internships abroad can be found, for example, via the HNU university job exchange (opens in a new window). The HNU International Office also provides a lot of information (opens in a new window) about internships abroad.
Amount of funding
Payment = mobility allowance + daily/monthly accommodation allowance
The lump sums are determined by the DAAD on a country-specific basis
Example: One month internship in Austria as a student = 225€ mobility allowance + 1.000€ residence allowance = 1.225€ in one payment.
As this is a lump sum grant, individual expenses (e.g. flight/train ticket, hotel, participation fee) are not reimbursed, but are already covered by the scholarship payment.
