you must fill a separate application for each.

PUP 357. Transfer students must also forward a validated copy
of transcripts from college(s) previously attended. Enter
date transcripts requested.

of academic recommendation, please discuss this with the Internship
Director.

On a separate sheet of paper, TYPE a personal statement explaining
your reasons for wishing to participate in the program of your preference,
the particular skills you bring to it, and your future occupational
and/or academic interests, plans and goals.

Attn: (Specify the internship type)
7.
Before
the application deadline, schedule an interview with the director(s)
of the program(s) to which you are applying. Bring your upcoming
Spring Semester class schedule to the interview in order to ensure

requirements for the Spring Semester internship and (2) the requirements
for your other Spring Semester courses. Legislative internship
interviews with Dr. Schaller will take place AFTER the application
deadline.
