You can use the SPRINT Search Tool to explore more than 250 Brown-generated internship, research, and teaching opportunities with Brown faculty and community partners.

The application deadline for fall SPRINT Fellowships is 12pm (noon) ET on Tuesday, May 19, 2026.

You will apply for individual SPRINT Fellowships through a Google Form application. You will submit one Google Form for each SPRINT Fellowship that you apply to. You may submit up to 5 total applications (and thus, 5 Google Forms) across all SPRINT Fellowships. If you submit more than 5 total applications, you will only be permitted to rank up to 5 total opportunities. Each SPRINT Fellowship application will require a combination of some of the following application materials:

• Resume
• Cover Letter
• Short answer question

Additional Guidance

Please take care when completing the Google Form to ensure that you are entering or attaching the correct materials for the specific Fellowship to which you are applying. 

You will be able to edit your application(s) until the deadline by following the link in the confirmation email you receive after application submission.

You may apply to multiple opportunities within a single Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowship (for example, five different UTRAs), or distribute your applications across different Brown-Generated Fellowships (for example, two UTRAs, two iProvs, one IBES).

You should only submit applications for SPRINT Fellowships that are of genuine interest to you. 
 

After the application deadline, you will receive an email request to provide a preferential ranking (via Google Form) of your submitted SPRINT Fellowship applications. The student ranking process will begin no later than May 26 and conclude at 12:00 pm (noon) ET on Thursday, June 25. If you do not submit your ranking form by 12:00 pm ET on Thursday, June 25, 2026, your applications for all SPRINT Fellowship opportunities will be withdrawn.

If you only applied to one SPRINT Fellowship opportunity, you must still submit the ranking form with your top choice opportunity ranked in order to confirm your continued interest in the program.

You should only rank SPRINT Fellowships that you are willing to accept. If you are matched with a SPRINT Fellowship, you will only receive one match and will not have the option to decline that match in favor of another SPRINT Fellowship. If you decline a match, that SPRINT Fellowship will potentially go unfilled, which is why we strongly encourage you to only rank SPRINT Fellowships you are willing to accept if matched.

For Semester SPRINT Fellowships, host organizations, faculty, and committee members review applications through Thursday, June 25, 2026. During this period, you may be contacted to participate in an interview. You should respond promptly to all interview requests and try to schedule interviews before Thursday, June 25.  

If you are not contacted for an interview, that doesn’t mean you aren’t still being considered for a SPRINT Fellowship. While many host organizations conduct interviews with candidates, not every faculty member or host organization does so.
If you need help preparing for an interview, please meet with a Peer Career Advisor or a Career Counselor in the Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Center for Career Exploration.

Your preferential rankings of SPRINT Fellowship applications will not be shared with host organizations, faculty, or review committee members, nor do you need to disclose these rankings as part of the interview process.

Students who have accepted an alternative opportunity outside of SPRINT or wish to withdraw their application from all semester SPRINT Fellowships should submit a withdrawal request form by June 29, 2026.  Submitting this form will withdraw all of your submitted SPRINT applications. If you only wish to withdraw yourself from consideration for one or more specific SPRINT Fellowships while remaining in consideration for others, do not use the withdrawal form. Instead, only rank the opportunities you are willing to accept during the Ranking process.

Choosing to withdraw your SPRINT Fellowship applications will not affect your eligibility to apply to SPRINT Fellowships in future years.  

At the conclusion of the ranking period, student preferential rankings and host organization/faculty/committee rankings, together with the SPRINT Principles and Expectations, will be used to make matches. Prioritizing student preferences, all applicants will be matched with 1 or 0 SPRINT Fellowships. In other words, if you do receive a SPRINT Fellowship match, it will only be for one opportunity.  

Match notifications will be sent by July 7, 2026 and students will have until July 29, 2026 to accept a SPRINT Fellowship offer. If you choose to decline your match, you will not receive an alternate match. If you decline your match for a Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowship, it is possible that the Fellowship will go unfilled, which would be disappointing for the affiliated SPRINT faculty, host organizations, or community partners.

Outside organizations for Brown-generated opportunities are required to provide students with a written offer within one week of matching. Being matched with an organization does not guarantee an internship offer from the organization or award funding until the organization provides a written offer with start dates, end dates, and other work expectations.
