Part 2: Google Forms Application

You will apply for individual SPRINT Fellowships through Google Forms. 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 across Brown-generated and Student-generated SPRINT opportunities, you will only be permitted to rank up to 5 total opportunities. Each SPRINT Fellowship will require a combination of some of the following application materials:

• Resume
• Cover Letter
• Short answer questions
• Proof of internship offer
• Research project proposal

• Recommendation submitted by faculty or community mentor (Advanced Undergraduate Research and Royce Fellowships only)

   

• Additional Guidance  

  • You may apply to multiple opportunities within a single Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowship (for example, five different UTRAs), or distribute your applications across Brown-Generated and Student-Generated Fellowships (for example, two UTRAs, one iProv, one IBES, and one Royce).
  • You may only submit only one application for each Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowship. If multiple applications are submitted for the same Student-Generated Fellowship (for example, you submit two Royce proposals), the final application you submitted will be the one reviewed.
  • You should only submit applications for SPRINT Fellowships that are of genuine interest to you. 
     

•  Brown-Generated Google Form Application 

  • Use this form to apply to a Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowship opportunity. To apply to multiple opportunities, you will submit this form multiple times. 
  • Please take care when completing the 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.
  • The SPRINT application process includes two parts: registration in UFunds and submission of one or more applications via Google Forms. Your application will not be complete until both parts are completed.
  • The application deadline for Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships is 11:59pm on Sunday, February 2, 2025. 
     

•  Student-Generated Google Form Application 

  • Use this form to apply to a Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowship opportunity. To apply to multiple Fellowships, you will submit this form multiple times. 
  • Please take care when completing the form to ensure that you are entering or attaching the correct materials for the specific opportunity 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.
  • The SPRINT application process includes two parts: registration in UFunds and submission of one or more applications via Google Forms. The Advanced Undergraduate Research and Royce Fellowship programs also require submission of a recommendation form by a faculty or community recommender. Your application will not be complete until all required parts are completed.
  • The application deadline for Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowships is 11:59pm on Sunday, March 2, 2025. 

After the application deadline, you will receive an email request to provide a preferential ranking (via Google form) of your submitted SPRINT Fellowship applications. For Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships, the ranking process will begin on Tuesday, February 4 and conclude at 10:00am on Monday, February 10. 

• It is important that you check your email and complete the ranking form by the 10:00am February 10 deadline.
• If you do not submit your ranking form by 10:00am on February 10, 2025, your applications for all Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowship opportunities will be withdrawn.
• If you only applied to one Brown-Generated opportunity, you must still submit the ranking form with your top choice opportunity in order to confirm your continued interest in the program.
• You should only rank SPRINT Fellowships that you are willing to accept.
  • You will only be matched to a SPRINT Fellowship that you ranked.
  • If you apply to a SPRINT Fellowship that you rank #5, you might be matched to that Fellowship and you should be willing to accept that match.
  • 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 likely go unfilled, which is why we strongly encourage you to only rank SPRINT Fellowships you are willing to accept if matched.

For Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships, host organizations, faculty, and committee members review applications through March 12, 2025. 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 March 12.  

• 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 do conduct interviews with candidates, not every faculty member or review committee does so.
• If you need help preparing for an interview, please meet with a Peer Career Advisor or a Career Counselor in the 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.

Following the March 2nd Student-Generated application deadline, applicants to both Brown-Generated and Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowships will receive an email request to provide a preferential ranking (via Google Form) of up to five submitted applications. This ranking period begins Tuesday, March 4 and ends Friday, March 14 at 12pm (noon) EST. If you have accepted an offer outside of SPRINT, you can use the withdrawal request form to withdraw all your SPRINT applications.

For Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships, you will have the opportunity to update your original rankings. Your preferences may change after participating in an interview or after reconsidering the SPRINT Fellowships that most interest you. Not every organization or faculty member will conduct interviews or interview every applicant. If you no longer want to be considered for a Brown-Generated Fellowship for which you submitted an application, you should leave that Fellowship unranked in your updated rankings. If you only applied to Brown-generated SPRINT Fellowship opportunities and your initial rankings have not changed, you must still submit the ranking form in order to confirm your preferences and your continued interest in the program.

For Student-Generated SPRINT Fellowships, you will have the opportunity to submit your rankings along with your updated rankings of any Brown-Generated SPRINT Fellowships that you applied to. 

Please note:

• It is important that you check your email and complete the ranking form by the March 14 at 12pm deadline.
• If you only applied to one SPRINT Fellowships opportunity, you must still submit the ranking form with your top choice opportunity in order to confirm your continued interest in the program.
• You should only rank SPRINT Fellowships that you are willing to accept.
  • You will only be matched to a SPRINT Fellowship that you ranked.
  • If you apply to a SPRINT Fellowship that you rank #5, you might be matched to that Fellowship and you should be willing to accept that match.
  • 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 likely go unfilled, which is why we strongly encourage you to only rank SPRINT Fellowships you are willing to accept if matched.

     

Students who have accepted an alternative opportunity outside of SPRINT or wish to withdraw their application from all summer 2025 SPRINT Fellowships should submit a withdrawal request form by March 21, 2025.  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 and Updated Ranking processes.

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

The deadline for submitting the withdrawal form is March 21, 2025.
