Other Opportunities for Students
Ongoing Opportunities
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU)
National Internship Program (HNIP) staff works with Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), federal agencies, and corporations to recruit well-qualified and motivated students. Participating agencies and corporations hope to increase diversity in their work force by providing internship opportunities to high-achieving Hispanic students. This creates a pipeline of future employees who have had positive, meaningful work experience.
In order to be eligible for the HACU National Internship Program (HNIP), applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale); be enrolled in a degree-seeking program at an accredited institution. Students pursuing only a credential or certificate will be considered ineligible. If you are a student graduating in May or June, you may apply for the spring and summer programs of the year you graduate. Students graduating in December are not eligible to apply to any of the programs that directly follow their graduation; have completed freshman year of college before the internship begins; be authorized or eligible to work in the United States by law.
National Center for Science and the Environment (NCSE)
NCSE's Campus to Careers Program helps environmentally motivated students in their transition to professional careers in the government, non-profit and private sectors through paid internships, fellowships and other short-term positions. NSCE coordinates internships for the National Park Service and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

Additional Opportunities
The Kennan Institute offers paid research internships for undergraduate, graduate, and prospective graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Each intern works with a scholar in residence at the Institute over a period of three to nine months. Applicants should have a good command of the Russian language and ability to conduct independent research. This internship offers a flexible schedule of 15 hours per week and a metro subsidy for conducting off-site research.
A postgraduate research training opportunity is currently available at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Center for Environmental Assessment (NCEA). This appointment will be served with the Global Change Research Program (GCRP) in Arlington, Virginia. The GCRP, located in the EPA?s Office of Research and Development (ORD), works to build the capacity of programs, managers, and other decision-makers to assess and respond to global change (i.e., climate and land use) impacts on the environment and human health. Research and assessment activities are focused on a number of areas: ambient air quality, ambient water quality, the built environment (including water and wastewater infrastructure), aquatic ecosystems, and human health.
