Students must be in good academic standing. Disciplines eligible for internships include mathematics, computer science, engineering, physical sciences, biological sciences, and social sciences. Academic record, particularly in the sciences, will weigh heavily in the selection of the proposal.
Some preference is given to upper level students depending on the strength of the proposal.
The proposal must be written by the student. While it is important that the faculty sponsor review and advise in the writing of the proposal, it must be clear that the student has written the proposal and understands the project. The letter of support from the faculty sponsor of the project can impact the decision of whether or not to fund a proposal. Students must be undergraduates to receive a grant. At the end of the project, students will be required to submit a final report to Alaska EPSCoR. These guidelines are not listed in any order of importance, but only serve as a list of criteria used in deciding which projects will receive Internship funding.
