Description
Lake Champlain Sea Grant at the University of Vermont runs this 13-month program for undergraduates interested in science and related fields. It combines a one-year scholarship for educational and living expenses with a paid summer internship and ongoing professional development. The program’s mission is to develop and share science-based knowledge that benefits the environment and economies.
Scholars participate in a multi-day immersion workshop in the Lake Champlain basin and two professional development opportunities each semester. Working with Sea Grant staff or a designee, they find an internship match with a faculty member, business, or organization. Internships are tailored to individual career interests and contribute to science-based information benefiting the environment or local economies in the Lake Champlain basin of Vermont and New York.
