Yeah my internship is virtual and has already started. GEM portal is also not updated and still says I'm missing transcripts even though I sent them back in like February, I also already signed with unviersity/employer. I think GEM has been impacted by this whole situation pretty hard so they are probably playing catch up at the moment.

Has anyone else been receiving emails from GEM on how to send their transcripts/other required items? I sent my transcripts back in February but they still haven't updated eGEM, I want to contact them but in the email it states, "we will contact you if we are missing anything, no need to contact us".

Yes GEM does provide 16k for the first year of a phd program. If masters, then its 16k spread over 2 years, so 8k each year.

Yeah I have other offers, and only asked for extensions from the schools I was seriously considering. I will contact GEM and see what options are available if any, but I did not accept any offer yet. Also I thought the deadline to sign a university was May 1? Maybe I was mistaken, thanks for the heads up.
-
I don't think so because I have been paired with an employer, but isn't the cost for the university the same? Tuition + fees.
-
My top choice GEM rep said they don't have the funding available in their department to match me as a GEM Full Fellow, am I out of luck with this school or should I talk to GEM about it possibly? Though I'm not sure there is much they could do.
-
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you.
-
I would assume it varies according to company.
-
My employer recently reached out saying that so far the internship program will proceed as planned. I think GEM and the employers are actively working to find a solution for this years interns.
-
If you have been selected by an employer then yes leverage your GEM app, otherwise I believe (correct me someone if I'm wrong) the universities will reach out expressing their interest in a university/associate fellowship. Though I don't see anything wrong with reaching out to the university for associate/university.
-
I think if you reject an employer sponsor then you are effectively rejecting the fellowship, if that's what you meant. Otherwise, GEM is solely the facilitator in different levels of the fellowship. If you have a Full Fellowship then the employer and university work together to create a full package (possibly with some help from GEM?). For associative and university levels it is solely the university (and possibly GEM).
-
I think GEM acts as the facilitator in funding. The university and employers create the full package, at least according to the FAQ they sent out a while back.

Definitely reach out to the schools and GEM to figure this out.
-
I would imagine it is slow at the moment considering the upcoming deadlines to select GEM Fellows, so patience is obviously important. Three weeks though seems a bit long so I would definitely follow up with either your GEM contact or recruiter.

Yes I did as well.
