Click HERE or on the flyer below to start your application.

You do not need to have a confirmed internship before applying, although you must have an idea of what you want to do for your internship, where you want to apply, and how the proposed experience will add to your career trajectory. You are encouraged to create opportunities for yourself along with applying to internships. Check out Handshake to get started and meet with a career counselor if you need help finding an internship.

As part of the application, you will be asked to submit two short statements: one that demonstrates how this internship experience will provide you with skills that will help in your larger career goals, and another that shows your need for financial assistance and how this fellowship would facilitate your ability to complete the summer or fall internship experience.
