• Demonstrated financial need.

Additional Information

To obtain academic credit:

1. A faculty member has to approve (with signature) that the internship/research is integral to the student's academic curriculum.
2. The on-site internship or research supervisor must also sign off on the specific responsibilities of the work and the goals the student will meet during this experience.
