Through a large legacy endowment, we provide each BAFF intern with a generous scholarship to cover all living expenses so you don’t have to provide a salary or benefits. Let BAFF help you tap into the strengths of tomorrow’s global business leaders and compete in a growing international marketplace. In an increasingly diverse economy, international interns provide a way to enhance your business with multilingual skills, a fresh perspective, and global insights.
