The third meeting time each week will be decided by your team.

We understand that academic schedules are in flux due to COVID-19 and may not be known as this time. To the best of your knowledge, applicants should be free for a 1.5 hour block of time on Monday and Wednesday evenings between 3:30pm MT - 7:30pm MT.

Students are expected to work 10-15 hours a week for the duration of the 11 week program. 4-5 of those hours will be spent on mandatory Zoom calls with your project team. The other 6-10 hours will be spent doing individual work. The program stipend is $1,350 per student.

If selected, there will be a 30 minute Zoom interview that will occur before a final application decision is made. Project interest and selection will be discussed during this interview and will be assigned no later than a week before the program start date. We will attempt to match students with projects based on interest and skills. Please contact Operations Manager, Belle Cotton, at icotton@coloradocollege.edu if you have any questions. Thank you!
