Applications are now open for the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP), a paid eight-week summer research program for high school students administered by the American Society for Engineering Education.
Rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors are selected to spend eight weeks working alongside professional engineers and research scientists on real projects ranging from autonomous vehicles to robotics, rogue waves, and better weather forecasting at one of 28 Department of Navy labs in 13 states and the District of Columbia.
New interns receive stipends of $3,500, returning interns receive $4,000 for the summer. (Note: Stipend does NOT cover transportation, lodging, and living expenses.)
The goals of SEAP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of the Navy’s research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the Department.
In summer 2019, SEAP provided competitive research internships to more than 300 high school students.
Check your eligibility and apply HERE. Applications – which include grade transcripts and letters of recommendation – must be submitted online by November 1, 2019, at 6 p.m. Eastern.
