Internships that pay housing?

[o_0]

Hi,

I don't seem to be finding any graduate internships that pay housing. (in addition to stipend) Do they exist? It could be at a company, government, university, etc.

I'm aware times are tough, however all my undergrad internships had paid housing. Maybe I just didn't search hard enough? I'd be particularly interested in hearing about hard sciences (in particular EE and/or biology) but anyone's comments would be interesting. Even if only travel is paid, I'd like to hear that too. Or if you knew something that used to pay. Just so I can get an idea of what the opportunities are out there. Thanks

Take a look at this if you want to go to Germany. Pretty sure they pay travel and housing

Thanks for responding, that's for undergrads though

They must have changed it then, I thought they previously had a program for graduate students as well.

They are small, focused, have truckloads of money and are super selective (6% acceptance rate I read somewhere). Its a worth a shot. PhD stipends start at $2k/month and they also provide free housing (two floor condo's around a bay) with utilities included, medical care with dental, yearly tickets, etc..

You should contact their faculty directly for opportunities.

I don't know where you go to school but KAUST has agreements with a bunch of schools (Berkeley, MIT, Oxford, Texas A&M, UCSD, etc.) that you may be able to exploit.
