Recent Updates: The New School plans to re-open its New York City campus for in-person teaching and learning in fall 2021. Learn more.

  • We are currently accepting applications for summer 2021. We will continue accepting applications until programs are full.  

    To apply, you need to have the following materials ready before filling out the online application:

    1. A recent résumé or CV
    2. An academic or professional writing sample OR portfolio
    3. A brief essay for your first-choice IFP country
    4. A brief essay for your second-choice IFP country

    Without these document files available and ready for upload, you will not be able to complete the application process.

    The writing sample can be a professional/academic paper (7-10 pages in length) showcasing your writing ability OR a portfolio (media, design, or art) highlighting your recent work in relation to the project of your first- and/or second-choice IFP sites.

    The brief essays (approximately 250-500 words) should explain:

    1. Your reasons for wanting to participate in that particular IFP site — what experience or coursework leads you to choose that country?
    2. What experiences (research, internships, community service, travel, extracurricular activities, etc.) have you had that make you a strong candidate?
    3. What do you expect to gain from the experience, and how does the IFP fit into your study plans and goals?
