To be eligible applicants must:

• Be a current UVM undergrad student in good standing who plans to continue studies in the fall (i.e., awards are not available to graduating seniors).
• Submit an offer letter for a summer internship that involves a minimum of 200 hours to be worked between May 1 and August 31 which pays less than $2800.
• Enroll for internship credit at UVM.  If you do not need the credit to count toward graduation and would like to save money, you might consider SINT.
• Ensure that their internship host site has a fully executed Intern MOU on file with the University

Additionally, 

• Any international travel supported by UVM requires prior approval by Office of International Education; to start this process send your travel dates and the city/country you are traveling to travel.study@uvm.edu. International internships that are not approved will not be eligible for funding; it is therefore essential that you begin the approval process before applying for the scholarship.
• International students should check with the Office of International Education and your advisor to ensure all the conditions of your visa are fulfilled.  If you are awarded a scholarship, it may be taxed at a different rate than domestic students. Please contact Student Financial Services if you have questions.
