Contacts at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has provided CBC with a flyer describing opportunities for undergraduates (and recent undergraduates) to get funding to work at or with AFRL. The flyer is linked here: AFRL Opportunities
The programs vary substantially: some are almost entirely managed externally, and some allow AFRL researchers to advocate heavily for specific collaborations. Each program has various requirements which are described in in detail with the links.

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education will be hosting a virtual career fair on Thursday, November 18 from 12 to 3 p.m. This event will allow students to learn about Department of Defense fellowship and internship opportunities. The goal of ORISE in partnership with the DoD, is to optimize the science and technology workforce through research to assist in the DoD’s mission. This event is a great way to learn about DoD internships and fellowships and become familiar with the opportunities available.
Students will be able to:
Students can register leading up to the event, here.
For questions please reach out via email.
Applications must be completed by February 15, 2021, at 8:00 a.m. EST.
The Repperger Research Intern Program is a 10-week educational experience, providing research opportunities for students at one of three Air Force research facilities under the mentorship of an Air Force scientist. Scientists have been hand selected to mentor, because of their technical knowledge, experience and willingness to help science and engineering students enhance their learning through participation in an actual Air Force research project. The available research opportunities span nearly all STEM fields, from Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Kinesiology, Physics and many more areas of study. Along with gaining first-hand research experience, students will learn the inner workings of an operational laboratory and develop contacts and friendships that will last a lifetime.
