Student Internship, Fellowship Opportunities

Pursuing careers in the science and technology fields requires much preparation, not only academically, i.e., in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom. Equally important to student academics is:

acquiring practical experience - gaining lab experience while engaging in research projects, and summer internships;
securing funding for educational pursuits - applying to fellowships and scholarships; and
availing one's self to professional development opportunities - attending conferences, symposia, and meetings, and holding memberships in professional associations in his or her intended discipline.
