Description
The Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST) Foundation’s Steel Intern Scholarships connect university study with practical experience in the iron and steel industry. Recipients complete a paid summer internship at a North American steel-producing or steel-related company before receiving scholarship support for the following academic year. The program focuses on students’ professional goals, interest in steel-industry careers, and potential contributions to the industry.
AIST helps selected students find placements suited to their interests and location preferences, including opportunities with steel producers and industry suppliers. Students may also arrange their own placement with AIST approval. Internships offer opportunities to apply classroom knowledge, work on projects in a field of interest, and learn from experienced mentors. The highest-scoring applicant receives the Premier Intern Scholarship.
