NASENR Internships

Student interns are paid stipends of $360 per month for 40 hours of work per month. In general, internships are arranged so that course work taken during the academic year complements participation in a sponsored, professional training experience during summer months. Internships can be arranged in various professional areas, from university research and industry training to local government administration and other sciences opportunities. Internships are developed either by applicants or by sponsors. With the help of their sponsor, and as part of an annual evaluation, students prepare written reports that summarize their internship experience.
