Overview of the High School Internship Program
ISERP's summer high school internship program is now accepting applications. The program is designed to expose students to the work of social science investigation and research. Our program pairs highly-motivated students with professors engaged in ongoing research. In addition, interns take part in weekly seminars, which are led by the faculty mentors. ISERP has structured the program with an eye toward professional development, the research process, and close mentorship by a faculty member.
The duration of an internship is approximately six weeks, from July through mid-August. Interns typically work for 30-35 hours per week.
Internships take place on Columbia University's Morningside Campus in New York City, and all applicants must live full-time within commuting distance. Unfortunately, no housing is available.
Internships are designed for the summer between a student's junior and senior year of high school.
Interns receive a small stipend to cover the costs of local transportation and lunch.
Only high school students currently completing their junior year are eligible to apply. The application deadline is March 5, 2012. For more information please visit our website: http://iserp.columbia.edu/programs/high-school-internships.
