The Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP) offers undergraduate and graduate students a unique opportunity to spend ten weeks of their summer conducting real-world research in Department of Navy (DoN) laboratories across the country. Participants will learn about Naval research and technology while receiving first-class mentoring by top scientists and engineers.
How it Works
- When applying, students research and choose their preferred labs.
- The internship has a duration of ten weeks, with the possibility of extending up to four additional weeks.
- Stipend levels will be determined by the student’s years of participation in the NREIP program.
- New undergraduate student participants: $7,500
- Returning undergraduate students (students MUST have completed a full 10-week program in a prior year to receive this level): $9,000
NREIP Goals
- Encourage students to pursue DON science and engineering careers.
- Enhance education with mentoring by laboratory scientists and engineers.
- Enable students to participate in meaningful STEM research.
- Expose students to DON science & technology and research & development opportunities.
