Master’s & Internship Program
The Master’s & Internship Program (MIP) was established in 2016 by the Albanian – American Development Foundation (AADF).
MIP provides young Albanian professionals, future leaders and managers a unique opportunity for Master's Degrees and Professional Internships in the fields of Agriculture, Business Administration & Management, Culture, Eco-Tourism & Hospitality, Economics, Education, Information Technology & Computer Science, Law, Public Administration, Public Health, and Public Policy.
Furthering the mission of AADF – to facilitate the development of a sustainable economy and a democratic society in Albania – these graduate fellowships are designed for young and mid-career professionals who are committed to meeting the challenges of the future and are dedicated to contributing the development of these fields in Albania. In 2018, American Councils for International Education began implementing the graduate fellowship program in the U.S. which is co-funded with the Biberaj Foundation.
Since American Councils began administering the program, 24 students have been awarded the MIP graduate fellowship for their studies in the United States.
