One Year Internship Available
Academic credit and also practical skills for interns
The Institute specializes in mentoring young men and women in leadership and life purpose. We offer an exciting one-year program that provides academic credit and also practical skills for interns, while participating in one of Global’s ministry departments.
- Administration/Facility (management/food services/Inn operations/maintenance/marketing)
- Events (camps & conferences worship/tech/drama/speaking/recreation)
- Media (video/tech/computers/production/graphics/internet)
- Missions (Global Youth Leaders/mission projects/youth mentors abroad)
- Student Services (spiritual life/intramurals/student trips/residence life/activities)
Students have the opportunity to serve with Global Youth Ministry and add to their resume while attending classes on campus. The cost of this program is considerably less than the academic-only program. Intern scholarships up to 40% are available. Please contact us for more information regarding the One-Year Internship!
For students who enroll through a partnering university, there is an additional $100 fee that is paid upon arrival at the Institute. If you are a student receiving academic credit from your home institution, you may arrange to pay your remaining tuition, partial room and board costs by continuing to pay your home institution directly. The Institute will invoice your school to receive payment for you. If you are not receiving academic credit from a partnering university, you will pay the Institute directly. We will bill you at your permanent home address. Tuition payment is due in full at the beginning of each semester.
Financial Aid
Through Partner Universities
The Global Institute for Youth Leadership works in close cooperation with Anderson University and other institutions to provide college credit for interested students. Policies which control these universities generally also apply to the Institute in all matters which relate to both institutions.
If a student intends to transfer to a University after the Institute, we direct the student to the appropriate department of our partner university to apply to that institution for student aid, loans, etc., there.
When a student transfers into the Institute from another university but intends to return to that institution after studying at the Institute, we suggest that the student seek financial aid first from that university.
In all cases, we encourage students investigate the possibilities at their disposal through their hometown bank, church student scholarship assistance, and other means available to them locally.
