The National Science Foundation makes possible a number of opportunities for undergraduates to join research projects each summer. This allows students to experience first-hand how basic research is carried out, and to contribute consequentially. Each Site consists of a group of ten or so undergraduates, who work in the research programs of the host institution. Deadlines vary by project. The National Wildlife Federation Internship Program provides to qualified, committed and diverse individuals a work-based learning experience and opportunities to develop excellent professional skills and relationships, working as integral team members to achieve NWF's conservation and education mission.
