STEM internships – summer undergraduate opportunities

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering a summer undergraduate internship opportunity in 2018 for students of underrepresented minorities interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields (for example, agricultural science, economics, environmental engineering). Interns will be involved in hands-on activities related to climate research that will allow them to see the direct impacts of climate variability and change on the West Texas Southern High Plains, the prairie and forest ecosystems and tribal cultures of Oklahoma, and the bayous, delta and coastline of Louisiana. Internship participants will travel across the south central United States to visit university campuses and field locations and interact with faculty conducting cutting edge research.

When: Sunday, July 8, 2018 to Saturday, July 28, 2018. 

Where: Interns will spend one week with scientists from Texas Tech University, one week with scientists from the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, and one week with scientists from Louisiana State University. View a sample itinerary from 2017.

Financial Support: All meals, lodging, and travel will be provided for the three week period. In addition, interns will receive a $200/week stipend for the duration of the program. The program will not cover local travel between the participant’s home to their closest airport, personal equipment (clothing, cameras, etc.), or other personal expenses.

Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must reside in and be traveling from Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or Texas and must be enrolled as a full-time student in either a 2-year or a 4-year institution for the Fall 2018 semester.
