  • Description of the goals and mission of the place of work, as well as the population served (where appropriate)
  • Description of the kind of work you will do
  • Evidence that the internship or work has been secured
  • Two letters of recommendation

The awards will be made on the basis of need as well as the contribution that the proposed work will make to social justice.
