Funding Request Application

Once you have identified an employer who is fairly committed to hiring you, then you and the employer should complete and return the Funding Request Application. This information packet comes with a Cover Letter that provides the employer with a brief explanation of the program. Completing the Funding Request Application is simple; basically, the employer describes the position and you explain why the position is career or academically relevant to you.

How to Get Application and Cover Letter
The DYO Funding Request Application forms may be picked up at Student Employment Services, 203 Day Hall, or Cornell Career Services, 103 or 203 Barnes Hall or downloaded and printed here.
