 Who Should Apply...Eligibility
Students wishing to become K-12 teachers who are either majoring in
any branch of science, math, engineering or technology or are education
majors
are encouraged to apply. Students in a post-graduate program preparing
for a teaching certificate are also eligible.
This program is not a job. It is an internship and is intended to
support the intellectual and professional development of students
who
have a sincere desire to be fully involved in a program that offers an
intensive, mentored experience that trains teachers to learn how to
transfer
scientific research knowledge to the classroom. It is particularly helpful
to students who have not had a chance to work in a science based research
environment and want to understand how applied science progresses through
the “scientific process”.
 Applicant
Requirements
To be eligible, applicants:
- Must be currently enrolled as a student in an undergraduate or graduate
program at an accredited college or university.
- Must intend to become a K-12 teacher in science, mathematics, or
technology.
- Must be 18 years or older at the start of the program.
- Must be a United States Citizen or Permanent Resident Alien.
- Must have earned a high school diploma or GED.
- Can participate in a maximum one PST internship.

Students are limited to the number and type of appointments they can
receive. Students attending a Community College are encouraged to apply
to the Community College Institute for Science and Technology first in
order to be eligible for the maximum number of internships; however,
Community
College students and Pre-Service Teachers are also eligible to apply
for the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship.
