	 QEM/NSF Summer Science Internship Program, Application
Deadline, Friday, March 1, 2013

		Greetings!

		This is an alert regarding the QEM/NSF Science
Policy-focused Summer Internship Program. Attached you will find an
application packet we would like you to share with your graduate and
undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), particularly those
interested in pursuing careers in science policy or science education.
Also, you will find attached a flyer describing this summer internship
opportunity. We ask that you download and post the flyer on your
departmental bulletin board to further ensure that students are aware of
these opportunities.

		The ten-week, Washington, DC-based internship (May 28
-August 2, 2013) is made possible through a grant to the Quality
Education for Minorities (QEM) Network from the National Science
Foundation (NSF). Students who successfully complete the internship will
receive a taxable stipend, $3,000 for undergraduates and $4,000 for
graduate students, paid in three installments over the course of the
summer. The students also will receive housing at George Washington
University with other QEM interns as well as round-trip airfare and
ground travel reimbursement.

		During the internship, students will have an opportunity
to: (1) increase their understanding of how science policy is made; (2)
further develop their potential for becoming leaders and proponents of
increased participation in science and engineering by students from
underrepresented minority groups; (3) become knowledgeable about
potential/actual barriers preventing minority students from receiving a
high quality mathematics/science education; and (4) become familiar with
policies, programs, and strategies being implemented to address such
issues. The students also will strengthen their research,
communications, and other professional skills, and develop a peer
network that includes QEM summer interns from across the country.

		Students who wish to participate in the internship must
currently be a STEM major at an accredited institution and have
successfully completed at least the sophomore year before the start of
the internship program. They also must be returning to a degree-granting
institution the following academic year, either at the undergraduate or
graduate level. Graduating seniors must be already admitted to and
planning to enter graduate school in Fall 2013 to be eligible.

		Please distribute the application packet to eligible
students and feel free to duplicate as needed. The application deadline
is Friday, March 1, 2013. On-line copies of the application are
available for download at http://www.qem.org/internship.htm#NSF.

		The internship is a wonderful educational opportunity
and we would greatly appreciate your encouraging students to apply who
could benefit from this experience.

		Sincerely,

		Shirley McBay
