travel/transportation expenses
professional attire
opportunity costs, (i.e. the need to give up a part-time paid job in order to take an unpaid internship.)
software/technology, material needs, not provided by employer/University, but essential to the experience.
conference fees

The best consideration date for Summer/Fall 2022 experience applications is Wednesday, June 1, 2022, by 11:59 PM. Funding will be allocated on a rolling basis, based on the availability of funds.
