Freshman and sophomore King Scholars participate in the King Leadership Week in Washington, D.C., or New York City. They meet with leaders in international development, learn about current international poverty alleviation projects and network for future internships and/or employment.
King Scholars spend parts of each undergraduate year in international development internships with foreign ministries, international banking institutions, global NGOs, or other organizations that match their specific interests.
Past experiences have included internships with the World Justice Project, Grassroot Soccer, and Dalberg Global Development Advisors. Additionally, Scholars have the opportunity to develop and implement original projects aimed at addressing extreme poverty in their country of origin.
