Academic information
An estimate is fine. For instance, if you expect to graduate in May 2016 but you don't know the date, just select a date in mid-May of that year.
List the advisor most closely associated with the discipline in which you intend to intern. For instance, if you are a double major in forensic biology and criminal justice and the internship is in criminal justice, list your criminal justice advisor. Your advisor will be asked to confirm that you are prepared to complete an internship in this field and to recommend you for this award.
Be sure to correctly enter your advisor's ONU email address, including any dot-number (e.g .1, .2, etc.), as this is the address to which the request for your letter of recommendation will be sent. If you enter an incorrect email address, the request for your letter of recommendation may not arrive and your application may remain incomplete!
