Wright Scholar Research Assistant
The Wright Scholar Research Assistant program is a highly competitive 9-week summer internship for exceptional juniors and seniors interested in STEM careers. Students are competitively selected and matched with AFRL mentors to conduct research projects as paid interns. Scholars learn about various STEM career fields through classes and workshops at the University of Dayton, Wright State University, and The Ohio State University. We also participate in tours at the AF Museum, various AFRL and industry locations, as well as host weekly luncheon lectures featuring prominent scientists and engineers who share their expertise. The program provides a wealth of information for those considering STEM careers.
Qualifications for Applicants:
