The STEM Internships are funded WORC grant funds provided by the Savannah River Site to support and enrich the academic experience of our undergraduates who are interested in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) or STEM-related fields. By providing access to faculty-mentor relationships, USC Salkehatchie encourages students to explore their interests at a more in-depth level than can be attained in the classroom, which will help the students in their future studies and job searches.
All students who are interested in STEM-related areas and meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply. An applicant must:
- have at least 12 college credits, including those in progress and on record, when applying,
- be a full-time student of USC Salkehatchie taking mostly in-person courses from the Salkehatchie campus during the period of the project,
- have a STEM faculty member willing to submit a recommendation letter online to address the student's STEM abilities,
- meet one of the following GPA requirements:
- have a 3.0 GPA from the semester immediately prior to application
- have a 2.5 cumulative GPA,
- earn a 2.5 GPA for the semester when applying if there is no record prior to the application.
Interns can earn up to $2000 per semester.
