International Students

F-1 international students may apply for UR Summer Fellowships to support internship or research opportunities in the following instances:

• If the student is working for a University of Richmond faculty or staff member through student employment.
• If the student’s major requires an internship for all students in that major in order to attain a degree. Students whose major meets this standard must apply and be approved for curricular practical training (CPT) through the Center for Global Engagement before the start of the internship.
• If the experience is an unpaid internship for a public sector or non-profit charitable organization, which is considered volunteering.
• If the experience is outside the U.S., in a country where the student is authorized to work.

If the experience does not fit into one of these instances, the student is not eligible for UR Summer Fellowships.
