RIPS Los Angeles

If you are a foreign student enrolled at a U.S. university:

If selected for RIPS, you will most likely need to obtain a “CPT” in order to participate in the program. This will likely require you to register for an internship or independent study class through your school. On occasion, it is also possible to participate through an “OPT,” but it is up to you to determine whether this option is compliant with U.S. government guidelines. Please clarify your eligibilty for RIPS with your school’s international student office before applying to this program.
