Subject: QEM/NSF Summer Science Internship Program, Application Deadline, 
Friday, March 1, 2013
Greetings!

This is an alert regarding the QEM/NSF Science Policy-focused Summer Internship 
Program. Attached you will find an application packet we would like you to 
share with your graduate and undergraduate students from groups 
underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), 
particularly those interested in pursuing careers in science policy or science 
education. Also, you will find attached a flyer describing this summer 
internship opportunity. We ask that you download and post the flyer on your 
departmental bulletin board to further ensure that students are aware of these 
opportunities.

The ten-week, Washington, DC-based internship (May 28 -August 2, 2013) is made 
possible through a grant to the Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network 
from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Students who successfully complete 
the internship will receive a taxable stipend, $3,000 for undergraduates and 
$4,000 for graduate students, paid in three installments over the course of the 
summer. The students also will receive housing at George Washington University 
with other QEM interns as well as round-trip airfare and ground travel 
reimbursement.

During the internship, students will have an opportunity to: (1) increase their 
understanding of how science policy is made; (2) further develop their 
potential for becoming leaders and proponents of increased participation in 
science and engineering by students from underrepresented minority groups; (3) 
become knowledgeable about potential/actual barriers preventing minority 
students from receiving a high quality mathematics/science education; and (4) 
become familiar with policies, programs, and strategies being implemented to 
address such issues. The students also will strengthen their research, 
communications, and other professional skills, and develop a peer network that 
includes QEM summer interns from across the country.

Students who wish to participate in the internship must currently be a STEM 
major at an accredited institution and have successfully completed at least the 
sophomore year before the start of the internship program. They also must be 
returning to a degree-granting institution the following academic year, either 
at the undergraduate or graduate level. Graduating seniors must be already 
admitted to and planning to enter graduate school in Fall 2013 to be eligible.

Please distribute the application packet to eligible students and feel free to 
duplicate as needed. The application deadline is Friday, March 1, 2013. On-line 
copies of the application are available for download at 
http://www.qem.org/internship.htm#NSF.

The internship is a wonderful educational opportunity and we would greatly 
appreciate your encouraging students to apply who could benefit from this 
experience.

Sincerely,

Shirley McBay
