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 $425 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 $500 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). (jap)
