Since 2013, MTYBA has been running an International Intern Awards scheme, offering financial awards to members who have secured internships abroad. In order to be eligible for an award, an individual must:
Be a member of MTYBA or MTSA;
Have received a confirmed offer for an international internship or be in the course of undertaking an international internship; and
Have not secured pupillage at the time of applying.
As part of the application process, applicants must submit a brief proposal for a 1500 word paper on a topic related to their internship, which once completed will be published as a part of Middle Temple literature. You can read some of the articles from previous winners here.
