To learn more about the Discovery Internships application, please review the Application FAQ.
We recommend that all international students book their own flights to and from the program.
Students must arrive to campus on the start date of the program, and depart on the end date. Arriving early or leaving late will not be possible. Please make your flight arrangements early.
Summer Discovery staff will be wearing blue Discovery Internships t-shirts and holding Discovery Internships signs.
All international payments must be made as follows:
1. By check drawn on a US bank in US funds payable to SUMMER DISCOVERY (i.e. international money order) or
2. By wire transfer, which is forwarded after completion of enrollment
Bank charges incurred are the responsibility of the student/parent. SUMMER DISCOVERY will credit only the actual payment in US dollars credited to SUMMER DISCOVERY by The First National Bank of Long Island.
Special Note: All international students who live outside of North America and attending a program in the USA, will be invoiced a non-refundable $200 International Registration and Health Insurance Fee which includes health/medical insurance coverage (with deductible) while attending SUMMER DISCOVERY, international courier fees, and personal meet and assist at all airport arrivals/departures in the U.S.
This fee includes health/medical coverage for the duration of the program, international courier fees, and personal meet and assist at all airport arrivals/departures in the US. This is applicable for programs in the U.S.A. only.
Students and their families are responsible for obtaining any required Visas. Due to the brief period of the program, international students should obtain a B-2 short stay TOURIST visa, (NOT an F-1 STUDENT visa), from the American Embassy or Consulate in their home country.
