STEP 3 – WAIT

• While waiting for the organization to review your application you may apply for other internships. Students are only permitted to do one internship per program year

STEP 4 – GET HIRED

• Organization may contact you for an interview.
• If selected for the internship, the organization will draft and sign the letter of agreement – a contract including the deliverables of the internship.
• You will then be prompted by email to sign into the SCiP website and accept the letter of agreement. Your internship does not begin and your award will not be reserved until you accept the letter of agreement through the SCiP website. 

STEP 5 – INTERNSHIP IN PROGRESS

• Once you have accepted the letter of agreement your internship may begin!
• You may now at any time during your internship upload your proof of enrolment document and wait for approval of the document.

STEP 6 – AWARD APPLICATION

• When the internship is over, you must apply for your award. If you haven’t already done so, upload your proof of enrolment document now.
• Once your proof of enrolment has been approved and your organization has submitted your End of Internship Declaration, you can submit your Award Request.

STEP 7 – RECEIVE YOUR AWARD

• Once your Award Request is approved, we will submit your completed application to the Government of Alberta with the next batch of award applications.
• Please allow 6-8 weeks from the date the Government of Alberta receives your application for your cheque to arrive.
