Applications for NPM's Summer Internship Programme are open once again! 30 summer internship positions will be selected and confirmed from the 49 project proposals.
In 2020 we are also including three special named inaugural internship awards. These scholarships honour three of our esteemed NPM scholars and their whānau.
