In addition to the template above, applicants must compile the following materials, in the order presented below, into a single PDF and upload through the online application form

Funding and Duration

In order to incorporate professional development within the standard timeframe for obtaining a graduate degree, the proposed internships should follow the same guidelines as other internship opportunities advertised through the program. They are limited to an average of twenty hours per week during the ten-week summer period or ten hours of effort per week during the twenty-week semester-length assistantship period.  Students should submit a detailed budget including living support, travel, and housing allowances.  Internships do not provide funding for tuition, fees, or health insurance.
