STEM internships available through SciTechsperience

SciTechsperience is a free, state-funded internship program that connects STEM college students with paid internships in small Minnesota companies. SciTech has successfully helped place over 1,280 interns across the state since its inception in 2012. Designed to foster Minnesota's STEM workforce, SciTech aims to help secure at least 350 internships this year alone. SciTechsperience is a program of the Minnesota High Tech Association and funded by the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).   

Interested students can use SciTech's tailored job board database to search for and apply to internships in a variety of STEM fields, including chemistry. For every intern hired through the program, SciTech reimburses the employer for half the intern's wages (up to $2,500 per student). Employers decide who to hire, the program is free to use and enrolling in the program is easy. To learn more about SciTechsperience and enroll today, visit SciTechMN.org.

WAVE FELLOWS PROGRAM

The WAVE Fellows program provides support for talented undergraduates intent on pursuing a Ph.D. to conduct a 10-week summer research project at Caltech.  The WAVE Fellows program aims to foster diversity by increasing the participation of underrepresented students in science and engineering Ph.D. programs and to make Caltech's programs more visible and accessible to students not traditionally exposed to Caltech. The program is extended, but not limited, to underrepresented minorities, women, first-generation college students, geographically underrepresented students, educationally and financially disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities. Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors and must be U.S. citizens, U.S. permanent residents, or students with DACA status. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required. Competitive applicants will have completed sophomore-level courses in desired research field, have demonstrated through academic and/or co-curricular activities a passion for research, and can articulate how their research interests align with Caltech's research areas. The most competitive applicants will have prior research experience. Support: WAVE Fellows will receive a $6350 award for the ten-week program. An additional housing/travel supplement will be provided. Application: Online applications are due January 12, 2019. For more information, visit http://www.sfp.caltech.edu/programs/wavefellows

AMGEN SCHOLARS PROGRAM

Caltech's Amgen Scholars Program is geared towards students in biology, chemistry, and biotechnology fields. Some of these fields include biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, medical engineering, chemical and biomolecular engineering, and chemistry. Eligibility: Students must be current sophomores through non-graduating seniors, must be attending a four-year university in the US at time of application, and must be U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. A minimum GPA of 3.2 is required. Support: Amgen Scholars will receive a $6350 award, round-trip air transportation, campus housing, and a food allowance.
