Student Elegability

Students can submit their proposals via the XXXXX from 15May - 15 June, 2015. We hear almost universally from our mentoring organizations that the best proposals they receive are from students who took the time to interact and discuss their ideas before submitting a proposal, so make sure to check out each organization's Ideas list to get to know a particular open source organization better. In addition to a proposal, students will be required to sign a Student Participation Agreement and submit their Proof of Enrollment forms.
