Adviser FAQs

Internship Credit

No. However, U.S. students are required to receive credit for the Indonesian language and culture course to be completed in Indonesia. Indonesian students are required to complete a non credit-bearing course related to nonprofit administration.

Indonesian Language and Culture Course

More information and the course syllabus can be found at the Indonesian Language and Culture Course Information page. Further questions regarding the course should be directed to finip@iie.org.

Yes, you may submit the nomination and certify that the home institution will consider awarding credit for the course (i.e. the course will be pre-approved for credit or under review for credit approval post program completion).

Unfortunately, we are unable to waive the credit requirement. Students selected to participate in the program must receive credit for the Indonesian language and culture course.

No. Students are responsible for any home institution tuition associated with receiving credit for the Indonesian language and culture course. Tuition and academic expenses charged by the Indonesian host institution will be covered by the program.

Nomination Process

Yes. An institution/adviser may nominate as many students as desired for the program.

Study abroad advisers typically nominate students, but in some cases, it may be more appropriate for fellowships/scholarships advisers, career services/internship advisers or academic advisers to nominate a student. Individual institutions may determine the best person(s) to submit nominations.

No. FINIP does not require that institutions designate a single adviser to nominate all FINIP applications from an institution. Appropriate advisers are determined by individual institutions.

Advisers are responsible for reviewing the student’s application for errors, certifying that the student is in good academic standing, and evaluating the student’s suitability and strength as an applicant for the program. For U.S. students, advisers will also be certifying that the home institution will consider awarding transfer credit or home institution credit for successful completion of the Indonesian language and culture course (i.e. credit will either be pre-approved or approved post-program completion).

Advisers will not have one user name and id to access all student applications. Advisers will access applications and the online nomination form using their student’s email address and password.

When the student submits his/her application, a nomination request email from finip@iie.org will be automatically sent to the adviser’s email address that the student listed on his/her application. Advisers should access the student’s application and online nomination form through the link provided in the email and log in using the student’s email address and password.

The deadline for the submission of student applications as well as adviser nominations is March 1, 2011. Campuses may set an earlier deadline for submission of student applications.

Yes. Students will be notified of selection decisions via email 4-6 weeks after the application deadline. Advisers will also be sent email notifications regarding their students’ status.
