George Washington Carver Internship Program
The College of Agriculture conducts an eight-week summer internship program for undergraduates in which interns are matched with faculty mentors to participate in research in their area of interest. Students receive a stipend, room and board, and round trip travel to Iowa State University. Interns must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent resident and be a current undergraduate student at an institution other than Iowa State University. A six-week program is available for high school students, who must provide their own transportation to ISU.

Check these two places to apply:

Apply here for high school and undergraduates interested in life sciences, agriculture, natural resources and family and consumer sciences. Applications are due March 1. This part of the George Washington Carver Internship Program is funded by the College of Agriculture, Sande and Margo McNabb, and external grants.

Apply here for Iowa AGEP on-line if you are an undergraduate interested in life sciences, agriculture, engineering, computer science, math and statistics. Applications are due Feb. 15. This part of the George Washington Carver Internship Program at ISU is funded through National Science Foundation for African Americans, Native Americans, and Latino(a)s.
