Graduate Research & Internship Program in Germany Application, Summer 2025

APPLICATION DEADLINE: MONDAY, December 2, 2024 at midnight Pacific Time.

Note that you are not able to save your application and return to it. Therefore, please refer to the form to prepare your application and then submit and upload your application once it's complete.


While not required, priority is given to students who have already identified an internship/research host. GRIP is wholly student driven and requires a substantial time commitment throughout the entire academic year. Students meet regularly with TEC staff during Winter and Spring quarters as they work to secure the hosting agreement and make other necessary arrangements for their Summer quarter research visit or internship.
