About NATO Internship Program
NATO offers six-month internships to applicants in the third year of their university studies, or recent graduates of a bachelor or master's programme.

Benefits of NATO Internship Program
- Internship stipend:
If you are selected for the NATO-funded internship programme, you will receive a monthly stipend (EUR 1,335 in 2026). This amount changes by year in line with inflation and NATO salary adjustments.
- Travel:
Once the Internship Office has confirmed your start date, you will be provided with a prepaid flight/train ticket from your place of origin at a return economy rate, and for an amount of up to EUR 1,200. If you are traveling to Brussels by car, these costs will be reimbursed.
- Leave:
You will be entitled to 15 days of paid leave during the six-month internship period.
- In-house training:
During the internship, you will take part in an induction programme and monthly briefings to provide you with an overview of NATO's activities and structure. The briefings present unique opportunities to meet experienced staff and officials from across the Alliance, to discuss topics of interest with them and with other interns. Visits to other institutions, like the European Parliament, will also be organised.
