Those that stay for longer periods of time learn more and have a richer overall experience. Those who are lucky enough to find lodging with friends or family can get by on still less. GPF internships are unpaid.

Some interns raise money from multiple sources by asking local people and institutions for support. Some rely on personal savings and family help. University credit can also sometimes be arranged. We expect part-timers to work at least 12 hours per week. Here, too, academic credit is sometimes possible.
