OBJECTIVES:
This program places students in paid internships in Science and
Engineering at any of several of the sponsor's facilities. Students
work with scientists or engineers on projects related to the
laboratories' research programs. The different laboratories each offer
different research opportunities. Internships are available at the
following labs: Ames Laboratory; Argonne National Laboratory;
Brookhaven National Laboratory; Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory;
Idaho National Laboratory; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory;
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; Los Alamos National
Laboratory; National Renewable Energy Laboratory; Oak Ridge National
Laboratory; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Princeton Plasma
Physics Laboratory; Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; Thomas
Jefferson National Accelerator Facility; and DOE Headquarters (Naval
Reactors Internship).

ELIGIBILITY
Students who are majoring in any branch of science, math,
engineering and technology are encouraged to apply.

To be eligible, applicants: must be currently enrolled as an
undergraduate student and completed at least one semester; must be
eighteen years or older at the start of the program; must be a United
States citizen or permanent resident alien; can participate in a
maximum of two SULI internships; and must have coverage under a health
insurance plan.

If a candidate will graduate before the beginning of the internship
for which he or she is applying, he or she must apply as a graduating
senior.

FUNDING
Housing allowances, transportation, and stipends are offered to
participants at all the laboratories. The stipend is $400 per week.
Round trip costs to come to the lab are provided for students who live
more than fifty miles from the lab (some restrictions apply). A
housing allowance is provided when housing is not directly
provided.

Transportation expenses are reimbursed for one round trip between
the applicant's home or academic institution and the facility.
Depending on the laboratory policy, travel will usually be paid only
for students whose permanent address is more than fifty miles away
from the lab.   Transportation expenses will be reimbursed on the
basis of the most direct route. Travel by a private automobile will be
reimbursed at the current government rate up to a maximum of $350 or
the cost of the lowest commercial airfare, whichever is lower. Travel
by air will be reimbursed at the cost of the lowest commercial
airfare.

An appointment is for ten weeks during the Summer Term (May through
August) or for sixteen weeks during the Fall Term (August through
December) and Spring Term (January through May).
