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.
