Submitting an application

Consult your campus intern coordinator for school application deadlines. In most cases the school intern coordinators will collect and forward application materials. Late applications will be held for possible review. Generally, interviews take place in November. Applicants will complete a short writing exercise in connection with the interview.

Additional materials required

In addition to the application, the following are required: cover letter, resume, written essay, and two letters of recommendation. (Include name, address, and telephone number of the people writing the letters of recommendation.) One letter should be from a faculty member and speak to the applicant’s skills and abilities. The second letter should address the applicant’s character and be from a personal acquaintance (i.e., long time friend, high school teacher, scout leader, etc.)
