Frequently Asked Questions :

Who can apply?

Students enrolled in an accredited college or university who will have completed at least two years of college by summer 2005 are eligible to apply, as well as students enrolled in graduate programs including medicine and nursing.

Do I have to be a U.S. citizen?

This will depend on our funding sources from year to year: most of our funding for student stipends comes from a federal government program which restricts student support to U.S. citizens. Applicants who are non-citizens will be considered when we have additional funding from outside sources.

Do I have to be in a certain major or field to apply?

No, but your application should explain the link between your current area of study and workplace health and safety. For undergraduates, this could include the health or environmental science, public policy, pre-law, journalism, and others. At the graduate level we are primarily seeking student employed in medicine or nursing programs or public health programs, but will consider students from other disciplines on a case-by-case basis.
