Your narrative should include the following header information: Your name, class year, major(s), internship\/research\/project title, and organization name at the top of the first page. Do NOT use a separate title page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are considered criteria for a high-quality application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Criteria<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Expectations<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Quality of the opportunity<\/strong><\/td><td>Detailed position description and narrative clearly convey the kind of organization, the quality of work to be done, and the potential impact on professional and personal development.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Learning goals and internship\/research\/project deliverables<\/strong><\/td><td>Clearly stated, with either some kind of tangible artifact being produced by the end of the internship\/research\/project experience or a purposeful learning experience that is at the heart of the project.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Strength of narrative and supplementary materials<\/strong> <strong>(resume, transcript)<\/strong><\/td><td>The narrative clearly articulates why the student wants to complete the experience and why the timing is appropriate.

A scoring rubric is used to evaluate applications. All applications have at least two committee reviewers. All students who apply will be notified in <strong>writing by email of the committee&#8217;s decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accepting an Award<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who are granted an award must complete the award acceptance form through Insight. Additionally, awardees must complete the on-demand Know Before You Go webinar before receiving funding. This webinar is meant to provide information to help you prepare for your upcoming experience. International students requiring Curricular Practicum Training (CPT) approval must contact the ISSO office before accepting an award to verify CPT status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Award Disbursement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If funded, you will receive an award during the semester. Please note that you <strong>must set up direct deposit authorization <\/strong>specifically for Awards and Refunds with Student Accounts, so the funds will be deposited into your bank account. Please note that this authorization is separate from Payroll Direct Deposit. If you are awarded funds, you will receive detailed instructions for setting up direct deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tax-information\"><strong>Tax Information<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domestic students<\/strong>: No taxes are withdrawn pre-disbursement; however, you will be expected to claim this award on your annual taxes, and this may impact your taxes due at that time. Please consult an accountant for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>International students<\/strong>: International students staying in the US for their internship will have some taxes deducted from their funding amount before receiving the funding; this means that the amount you receive will be less than the total award. The amount deducted depends on which country you are from and the tax treaty that the US has with that country. Generally, expect about 12-15% of your total award to be withdrawn. Please see the Clark payroll office for specific questions about your tax amount. International students doing their internship outside the US will not have taxes withdrawn or reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow
