"I think NAF's mission is noble. Focusing on students from low-income households really helps to nourish talent which otherwise would have been left untouched. I would not have been able to sustain myself here and enrich myself with cultural and scientific knowledge, if NAF wasn't there to help me."

"On a personal level, this internship pushed me to adapt to new environments, take on challenges independently, and find creative solutions when faced with uncertainty—skills that will serve me well in any future role. Moving across the world so suddenly was scary at first, but I couldn't have been happier with the choice I made and the opportunity I was given."

"At the NAF we help people turn dreams into reality. Wether it's students crossing the ocean to study and intern, artists sharing their work with new audiences, or businesses growing their network. It's all part of our mission. A mission that has stood strong for over 100 years."
Caroliene Hermans – Executive Director
