And also check "Summer Programs" link on this website for even more opportunities that may be modified into internships.
Listed below are many leads to find a site to intern. For academic year
science interns, most mentors prefer someone who works during the summer and
stays during the academic year.
There is something listed below for everyone. But you must look through them
to determine which ones meet your needs. And, NO, I will not do this part for
you. This may sound a little harsh, but if you are not willing to do the
search, you probably won't show enough initiative "on the job" to be
successful, either. So, think of this as the first hurdle to demonstrate
that you are worthy of a mentor devoting the time, effort and - yes- money to
support you in a worksite.
Apply to to EVERY program that meets your needs. The first application will
be time consuming and difficult. After that, they mostly ask for the same
information.
Make sure you let Mrs. Adler know if (1) you are interested in having a
science internship and/or (2) you are accepted to a program. Fill out the
REGISTRATION FORM (2nd menu item on this site). She has some
additional "goodies" you may be interested in. But she cannot tell you about
them if you don't let her know you are "out there".

SCIENCE & ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (SEAP). The
Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP), sponsored by
George Washington University and the Department of Defense, is an
eight week summer program for high school students. SEAP is
designed so that students can apprentice in fields of their
choice with experienced scientists and engineers. This
opportunity provides students with valuable experience needed to
make informed career decisions. Students apprentice with their
mentors on mutually agreed upon projects. At Army Research
facilities, the students apprentice in a professional research
laboratory setting and learn how their research can benefit the
Army as well as the civilian community.
Because of the setting, students are treated as research
asistants rather than just teenagers. First year participants are
awarded an educational stipend.
The students contribute to the research of the laboratory while
learning research techniques in the process. This "hands-on"
experience gives students a broader view of their fields of
interest and shows students what kind of work awaits them in
their future career. The students also attend demonstrations and
go on field trips to learn more about the inner workings
of an Army Research Laboratory. At the end of the summer, the
students prepare final reports and present their research at a
final seminar.

NASA: INSPIRE Interdisciplinary National Science Project
Incorporating Research and Education Experience [Students Grades
9-12 and Higher Education][Available: Nationally]
The Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating
Research and Education Experience, or INSPIRE, is a multitier
year-round program designed for students in ninth to 12th grade
who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) education and careers.
The centerpiece of INSPIRE is the Online Learning Community, or
OLC. The OLC provides a place for INSPIRE students to interact
with their peers, NASA experts and education specialists. Through
grade-level-appropriate educational activities, chats and
discussion boards, students and their families are exposed to the
many careers and opportunities NASA has to offer. In addition,
the OLC provides the parents/guardians of participating students
with resources designed to help them champion their child’s
education and career goals.
To ensure all students have an opportunity to participate in the
OLC, those who qualify for the National School Lunch Program are
eligible to receive a free laptop.
To be considered for the INSPIRE Online Learning Community,
applicants must: Be entering the ninth through 12th grade when
the school year begins. Be at least 13 years of age or older at
the time of application. Be a U.S. citizen. Have a minimum of a
2.5 academic grade point average on an unweighted 4.0 scale.
Demonstrate the desire and the academic preparation to pursue a
STEM-related field of study beyond high school. Complete the
online application process with all required documentation.
Members in good standing with the INSPIRE OLC have the
opportunity to compete for grade-appropriate summer STEM
experiences. The summer STEM experience is designed to provide
hands-on opportunities to investigate education and careers in
STEM at a NASA facility or a Space Grant Institution/University.
Each summer experience, except the Collegiate Experience, will
take place at the NASA facility within the student's service
area. To locate the NASA facility in your service area, please
see the "NASA Facilities and Service Area" section below.
Explorer Experience: INSPIRE OLC participants in the ninth grade
may compete for The Explorer Summer Experience. Selected
applicants and their parents/guardians receive a trip to the NASA
facility within their service areas, where they will participate
in a VIP tour and workshop. The visit occurs the summer between
the students' ninth- and 10th-grade school year.
Collegiate Experience: INSPIRE OLC participants in the 10th grade
may compete for The Collegiate Summer Experience. Students
selected participate in a two-week on-campus experience at a
Space Grant Institution/University. Students are chaperoned by
the host institution where their exposure to college life is
designed to improve study skills and encourage the pursuit of
higher education and careers in STEM areas. NASA INSPIRE will pay
round-trip travel expenses for those students who live more than
100 miles from the college or university providing this
experience. In addition, the college or university provides
lodging, meals, supervision and educational activities. The
Collegiate Experience occurs the summer between the students'
10th- and 11th-grade school year.
Residential Internship: INSPIRE OLC participants in the 11th
grade may compete for the Residential Internship Summer
Experience. Selected students participate in a paid, eight-week
internship under a NASA mentor at the NASA facility within the
students' service areas. During the internship, students are
provided:
A stipend based on minimum wage for the state in which the NASA
facility is located and a lunch allowance.
Meals and housing at a location within commuting distance from
the NASA facility, typically a nearby college dormitory.
Daily transportation to and from work and required project
activities.
Have a minimum of a 2.5 academic grade point average on an
unweighted 4.0 scale. Supervision and mentoring by scientists and
engineers at the NASA center during working hours.

grade who have been accepted to attend a college or university to
pursue a STEM degree may compete for the Pre-College Internship
Summer Experience. Selected applicants participate in a paid,
eight-week internship with a NASA mentor at the NASA facility
within their service areas. During this internship, the student
receives a stipend and is then responsible for making all
lodging, meals and transportation arrangements.
To be considered for a summer STEM experience, INSPIRE Online
Learning Community participants must at a minimum:
Be an active participant in the INSPIRE Online Learning
Community.
Have a 3.0 academic grade point average on an unweighted 4.0
scale. Submit updated transcripts, recommendations and parental
consent forms, and other documentation as instructed. Note:
Depending on funding availability, not all summer experiences may
be offered every year.
The open application period for NASA's INSPIRE OLC occurs only
once each year in May. It is advised that if a student is
interested in participating in NASA INSPIRE, they register at
https://inspire.okstate.edu to receive updates and additional
