ORISE is Accepting Applications for the 2017 Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Program from Graduate and Undergraduate Students
Women and minorities encouraged to apply; deadline is Dec. 30, 2016
The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is
currently accepting applications for the U.S. Department of Energy’s
(DOE) 2017 Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Program (MLEF), which is a
10-week summer program for students pursuing degrees in science,
technology, engineering and math.
The MLEF Program provides students with the opportunity to gain
and develop research skills by training under the mentorship of program
officials and scientists within the DOE’s Office of Fossil Energy. This
program is open to currently enrolled, full-time, degree-seeking
students in a science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) program at
an accredited college or university at the bachelor’s (sophomore or
higher), master’s or doctoral level with a cumulative grade point
average of 3.0 or higher. U.S. citizenship is required.
Participants will support Office of Fossil Energy mission-related
research while gaining insight into how DOE is working to meet the
energy challenges of the future. The goal of the program is to improve
opportunities for women and minority students in the STEM fields
although all eligible candidates are encouraged to apply.
The summer program may place students at one of several possible sites
including:
-
Department of Energy Headquarters, Washington, D.C., and Germantown,
Md.
