The Department of Energy is accepting applications for the spring 2027 term to the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships and Community College Internships programs. Mentored by scientists, engineers, and technical professionals, interns will acquire new skills through hands-on learning, be exposed to science and technology careers, and expand their professional network to advance their educational and career goals.
Additionally, interns will have the opportunity to work with a team of experts to solve real-world problems and contribute to science and innovation that support the department’s mission, including the Genesis Mission and new frontiers in artificial intelligence, quantum, nuclear energy and technology, biotechnology, critical minerals and materials, and fusion science and engineering.
The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships program is open to full-time students attending four-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s or associate degree.
The Community College Internships program is for community college students, including those who are enrolled part time.
Both programs are stipend-based and offered in fall, spring, and summer. Participants residing outside the commuting area are offered round-trip travel to and from the host lab and financial assistance with lodging.
The application deadline for both programs is September 30 at 5:00 p.m. ET.
The program office invites applicants and letter of recommendation writers to attend office hours, during which program staff members answer administrative questions, including those related to uploading transcripts and submitting letters of recommendation.
