HIGH SCHOOLERS
Are you a high school student or soon to be high school graduate interested in STEM and a potential career with the Army? It’s never to early to pursue opportunities to set you up for long-term success. Explore all the early research opportunities the Army’s S&T Enterprise has for high schoolers.
Army Educational Outreach Program – Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS)
The Army Educational Outreach Program offers our nation’s youth and teachers opportunities for meaningful, real-world STEM experiences, competitions and paid internships alongside U.S. Army researchers, with the goal of creating a highly competent STEM talent pool to strengthen the U.S. Army, DoD, and the Nation’s workforce. AEOP’s Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS), promotes original research and experimentation in STEM. At JSHS, high school students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting results of their STEM projects to a panel of judges.
Army Educational Outreach Program – Apprenticeships & Fellowships
The Army Educational Outreach Program offers our nation’s youth and teachers opportunities for meaningful, real-world STEM experiences, competitions and paid internships alongside U.S. Army researchers, with the goal of creating a highly competent STEM talent pool to strengthen the U.S. Army, DoD, and the Nation’s workforce. AEOP apprentices (high school, undergraduate) and AEOP fellows (graduate, post-doctoral) conduct real-world, Army-sponsored research alongside scientists and engineers in world-class facilities. Whether you are seeking a summer, semester, or long-term STEM research and career development opportunity, AEOP has a program for you.
Pathways Internship Program
Designed to provide students enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions with opportunities to work in agencies and explore federal careers while getting paid for work performed. Students who successfully complete the program may be eligible for conversion to a permanent job in the civil service.
Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI)
The Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative is a tri-service Department of Defense Program, part of the University Research Initiative. The MURI program supports university teams whose research efforts link several traditional science and engineering disciplines. Multidisciplinary team efforts can accelerate research progress in areas particularly suited to the cross-fertilization of ideas by supporting team efforts across multiple universities. MURI grants typically range from $1.25 million to $1.5 million per year for three years and may be extended two more years as an option.
