The George Washington Carver (GWC) Internship Program is conducted by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) and consists of programs funded through different sources and tied to several colleges at Iowa State University (ISU).

High School Program

From June 22 to August 3 is the six-week high school program for 2013. Mentors (or their departments) are expected to match half the high school stipends, $750, with the College. High School interns live and have meals at the residence hall. They are expected to attend weekly seminars, complete a research project, prepare an abstract and written report, and present their work at the Research Symposium at the end of the program.

GWC Internship Program coordinators stay in touch wih interns throughout the six weeks and residence advisors are on hand to assist with planned activities and be supportive to interns.

High School students eligible for the GWC summer internship must be:

• U.S. citizens or permanent residents
• 3.0 or above student at his/her high school
• Age 16 or older
