The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Scholars Program offers stipend-paid internship opportunities for undergraduate and graduate-level university students pursuing STEM degrees, as well as upper-level high school students.

‍

The selected interns gain valuable hands-on experiences working with full-time AFRL scientists and engineers on cutting-edge research and technology and are able to contribute to unique, research-based projects.

‍

Internships at AMOS are offered through the Directed Energy Directorate at Kirtland AFB. If selected for an AMOS internship, scholars will work with program administration to arrange their travel and lodging accommodations. Scholars will then travel directly to Hawaii and complete all in-processing on-site. Participation in a video teleconference orientation during their first week on-site will be mandatory. Throughout the internship, selected scholars will work closely with AFRL scientists and engineers directly involved in technical projects.
