DOE’s Office of Science Accepting Applications for Spring 2025 Undergraduate Internships

Students and Recent Graduates Will Conduct Research and Technical Projects at National Laboratories

Applications are currently being accepted for the Spring 2025 term of 2 programs offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. The application deadline for the two programs is 5:00 p.m. (ET) on October 2, 2024.

Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain the experience needed to transition from internship to employment. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists and engineers, assisting them on research or technology projects that support the DOE mission. SULI is open to full-time students attending 4-year institutions and community colleges or recent graduates within 2 years of receiving their bachelor’s degree or associate degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered 3 times annually in fall, spring, and summer terms.

Two workshops will provide strategies for submitting compliant applications followed by office hours to answer administrative questions. These workshops will introduce the program and application process. Office hours are open to CCI and SULI applicants and letter-of-recommendation writers to answer questions about uploading transcripts, submitting letters of recommendation, and general questions. Attendance is optional at the workshops and office hours.

SULI and CCI are managed by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in the Office of Science. More information can be found on the WDTS website.
