GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Science & Engineering Apprenticeship program
(summer) - This program places academically talented H.S. students (at
least 16 yrs old, sophomores/ juniors) with interest in science & math in
Dept. of Defense laboratories for an 8-wk period over the summer. This is
an invaluable experience in the world of scientific research, with hands-on
exposure to scientific & engineering practices not available in the HS
environment. It is a paid apprenticeship ($2,000) and the students are
assigned a scientist or engineer as their mentor. To apply online or get
more information about the program: http://www.usaeop. com

The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP), sponsored by George
Washington University and the Department of Defense, is an eight week
summer program for high school students. SEAP is designed so that students
can apprentice in fields of their choice with experienced scientists and
engineers. This opportunity provides students with valuable experience
needed to make informed career decisions. Students apprentice with their
mentors on mutually agreed upon projects. At Army Research facilities, the
students apprentice in a professional research laboratory setting and learn
how their research can benefit the Army as well as the civilian community.
Because of the setting, students are treated as research assistants rather
than just teenagers. First year participants are awarded an educational
stipend of $2000.

The students contribute to the research of the laboratory while learning
research techniques in the process. This "hands-on" experience gives
students a broader view of their fields of interest and shows students what
kind of work awaits them in their future career. The students also attend
demonstrations and go on field trips to learn more about the inner workings
of an Army Research Laboratory. At the end of the summer, the students
prepare final reports and present their research at a final seminar.
