Repperger Summer Research Internship Program
Repperger Summer Research Internship Program
Deadline to apply: Jan. 20, 2025
The Repperger Summer Research Internship Program is a 10-week educational experience, providing research opportunities for students under the mentorship of an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) scientist. This program posthumously honors Dr. Daniel W. Repperger, who mentored many young people during his 35-year research career with AFRL. Scientists have been selected to mentor Repperger interns because of their technical knowledge, research 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 many STEM fields, including Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Kinesiology, Physics and several other areas of study. Along with gaining first-hand research experience, students will learn the inner workings of an operational Department of Defense laboratory and develop contacts and a network that will help them in their professional career.
