Application Timeline

The Application Process

Interested host organizations should submit their Host Organization Proposals by January 29, 2009.

Fellow candidates submit an application including essays, resume, transcript, and two letters of recommendation to NUPIP by early February 2008. After the written applications have been screened by NUPIP, on-campus interviews are conducted. NUPIP then refers one or more candidates to each potential host organization for consideration by mid-February 2008. Each host organization then reviews the applications and conducts an interview, in person or over the phone. Placements should be finalized by mid-April 2008. Fellows are prepared to begin their one-year commitment after July 1, 2008. Start-dates and other timing particulars should be arranged between the organization and fellow.
