The AFRL Scholars Program is a research opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. It is sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and provides students with hands-on experience in cutting-edge research projects.
Undergraduate and graduate students who are U.S. citizens and enrolled in an accredited college or university are eligible to apply for the AFRL Scholars Program. Applicants must also have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and be pursuing a degree in a STEM field.
To apply for the AFRL Scholars Program, you must submit an online application through the program's website. The application typically opens in the fall and closes in the winter. You will need to provide personal information, academic transcripts, and a statement of interest in a specific research project.
The AFRL Scholars Program typically notifies applicants of their acceptance in the spring. If you are selected, you will receive an offer letter with details about your research project, mentor, and start date. You will also need to complete additional paperwork and undergo a security clearance process.
The AFRL Scholars Program typically runs for 10-12 weeks during the summer. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the program may be modified to accommodate virtual or hybrid research experiences. The specific duration and format will be communicated to accepted students in their offer letter.
