I talked with my SF and put in an application for a type 1 follow on award for another year of school to finish up a Masters. My question is, should I be accepted, whether or not I will be able to work an internship in the coming summer. Based on my experience when I first received the award, there was no internship in the summer directly after I was awarded the scholarship. Things may be different since this is an extension, but I could see the possibility that it is too late in the internship setup process as well. Anyone have experience with this?
I am in the exact same boat as you, finishing my Bachelor's and waiting to here back about a follow-on award for my Master's. I had the same questions and confirmed the following with SMART.
First, you will be expected to complete an internship the summer in between the two awards.
Second, it is not too late to set-up the internship. I was told by SMART since follow-on awards are not guaranteed, you cannot submit the internship request form until after you are given the follow-on award.
Good luck!
