=== MMUF & WCURF ===
The OCC fellowships give students the resources needed to carry out virtually any internship. Applicants submit a proposal, describing the internship in as much detail as possible. The keys to a winning application are including as much detail as possible (so the committee knows you’re serious and qualified) and making connections to both past experience and long-term career goals.
Grant recipients receive a check at the beginning of the summer and are expected to use it to cover expenses related to the internship (housing, food, transportation). They are also expected to submit a 1-2-page write-up to Ron Gallagher before September 1 after the internship.
