This e-mail message will contain a link to validate your registration and allow you to continue with your application submission.

Prior to starting the application process, please read the FAQ page to assist you with using the OAS. The next step is to complete all of the required fields for each section of the application form.

All documents listed below must be submitted in order to complete your application:

The completed Online Application Form.

A resume and cover letter describing your academic background, research experience, and career goals. You should discuss how you would benefit from the RURA Program.

An Official transcript from your college or university. You must scan and upload a copy of your official transcript as part of the online application. Unofficial transcripts will not be accepted. Transcripts should be uploaded as non-encrypted PDF files. Uploading a transcript with any type of protection or encryption may prevent us from viewing the file, and will delay processing of your application.
