Cover Letter

  • This is one of the first things reviewers see. Use this as an opportunity to catch our eye with your interest in our projects.
  • We see these as a Google Forms response, so the formatting is whatever you type in.
  • Please make an attempt to tailor this to E4E.

Resume

  • E4E is primarily looking for students who want to really dive into and commit to a project
  • Highlight projects that you’ve really delved into and developed for several months
  • Highlight any distinctive skills you have learned and tell us what you achieved with those skills
  • Double check your resume before uploading

Projects
