All application materials are due on or before January 31, 2021, at 11:59 PM. An application is not complete until all materials have been received, INCLUDING THE LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION. Recommendations cannot be requested before submitting an application so please plan accordingly to submit the application earlier so recommenders have time to submit before the deadline .
Steps to Complete Application
Complete the application on the SOLO system (specific opportunity link would be provided upon available), including uploading your resume and unofficial transcript.
Find the application on the SOLO system, then click on the listing to see the “Apply” link. Make sure you save your progress while you are applying. (Note: The recommendation request form will appear on the right side of your application page. If you try to submit a letter of recommendation request before saving a draft of your application, your responses will be lost.)
For first-time applicants, you will need to first update your SOLO profile (there will be a link in the text box). You can connect to the Registrar’s office by selecting the checkbox to autofill your SOLO profile.
One letter of recommendation is required. Recommendations can be from a professor (Stanford or elsewhere), employer, or anyone else you feel can attest to your skills and your ability to thrive in the type of internship abroad for which you are applying. You should inform your recommender which internship position(s) you are applying for. Recommendations are requested in your SOLO system account. Visual instructions on how to send a recommendation request through the SOLO system are on to the right under Docs and Downloads.
Selection Process: Stanford internship candidates will be selected based on overall fit with the program. GEP will conduct the initial screening of applicants. The companies will then review the applications and, in some cases, conduct interviews to finalize their selection.
In addition to a shorter version of application through SOLO system, applicants need to complete a separate application process for the internship in Infosys of India here. A detailed step-by-step instruction is as below:
