The purpose of this program is to develop the technical skills and scientific knowledge needed by students to contribute to our nation's dynamic science and technology enterprise.
Appointments are available during the spring, summer, and fall terms.
This program is designed to provide educational training and research experience at six DOE national laboratories for highly motivated community college students. Each laboratory will offer a ten-week summer institute for selected students who will be mentored by world renowned scientists. The institute represents a collaboration between the DOE and the American Association of Community Colleges. This program is designed to allow students to work with the different science education programs and policy at DOE Headquarters. The purpose of this program is to enrich science, mathematics and technology instruction by immersing students who want to be teachers in laboratory-based research at DOE National Laboratories.
