Other DHS Education Programs

The DHS Scholarship and Fellowship Program is intended for students interested in pursuing the basic science and technology innovations that can be applied to the DHS Mission. This education program will ensure a talented science and technology community to achieve the DHS mission and objectives. The program supports students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The award includes full tuition and fees and a monthly stipend plus a 10-week summer internship doing research in a DHS-related area.
The DHS HS-STEM Summer Internship Program provides a 10-week summer research experience for undergraduate students majoring in homeland security related science, technology, engineering and mathematics (HS-STEM) disciplines. Students who demonstrate long-term goals aligned with the mission and objectives of the Department will have the opportunity to conduct research in DHS mission-relevant areas at various federal research facilities. The goal of this program is to prepare an educated and skilled pool of scientists and engineers to address HS-STEM issues. Participants receive a stipend of $500 each week plus transportation expenses to/from their internship location.
The DHS Summer Research Team Program for Minority Serving Institutions provides research opportunities to increase and enhance the scientific leadership at Minority Serving Institutions in research areas that support the mission and goals of DHS. In addition, the Program is designed to engage early career faculty, along with undergraduate and graduate students, in research that will provide them opportunities to understand the mission and research needs of DHS and advance research areas of importance to DHS, while strengthening the talent pool of scientists and engineers. The program supports research teams composed of a faculty member and up to two students (undergraduate or graduate level) for a 12-week summer internship doing research at a DHS Center of Excellence. The award includes a stipend plus transportation expenses to/from the internship location.
DHS Workshops for Minority Serving Institutions--Awareness, Access, and Opportunity provide information on ways in which minority serving institutions can take advantage of the research, education, and funding opportunities available through the DHS Directorate for Science and Technology.
