The World Food Prize is accepting applications for the 2018 Borlaug-Ruan International Internship program. High school students from across the U.S. will travel abroad this summer to gain real-world experience in STEM fields at international research centers. Since its inception in 1998, the program created by Norman Borlaug and John Ruan Sr. has sent nearly 300 students on eight-week internships at 34 of the top agricultural research institutions around the world. While getting a firsthand view of real and pressing food security issues and nutrition problems in poverty-stricken areas, the students spend time in the lab as well in the field conducting research and interviews and gathering data.
