1 Alumni Office Room 1W9 Isaac B. Honor - Internship Coordinator bths.internship@gmail.com INTERNSHIP NOTICE #4 PLEASE READ VERY CAREFULLY!! The application portal for the Navy's Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) for High School students opened this past Wednesday and the link is here: SEAP is an eight week summer program wherein high school students work in a Navy Lab on actual research alongside Navy scientists and engineers. The stipend for the first year is $3300 and for returning years is $3800. As expected it is quite the competitive process. Once a student has graduated from high school they are encouraged to apply for the Navy Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP - as well as the SMART scholarship program ( The main challenge with the SEAP program is location. Most students who participate in the program live relatively near to the labs where they intern. As you can see in the attached map, the closest Naval activities to NYC are Groton, CT (2 hr drive), Newport, RI (3 hr drive), and Philadelphia, PA, (2ish hr drive) so it would be a challenge to get them there. However, if a student had relatives in the area of a lab or a parent/guardian willing to stay with them for the duration of the internship (tough, I know) that would work. This internship opportunity will only work if you have relatives in Groton, Connecticut, Newport, Rhode Island or Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These are the closest research labs to New York. There is also a Participating Labs list for the rest of the country. If you are serious about this internship opportunity and have relatives that you can stay with, complete the application and then me and I will check further with my contact person. Again, you must have relatives in the area that you can stay with in order to be considered for participation in this internship program. Application Deadline The application will close on October 23, 2015 at 5:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST). Important Note: If you are selected for the internship, please inform Mr. Honor IMMEDIATELY via at: bths.internship@gmail.com

2 About SEAP Program Details Participating Labs Contacts FAQ Apply Online About SEAP The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) provides an opportunity for students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer. The goals of SEAP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN. SEAP provided competitive research internships to over 265 high school students this year. Participating students spend eight weeks during the summer doing research at 25 DoN laboratories. The SEAP Online Application opens on September 15, 2015!

After your application is received it is submitted to the Navy laboratory that you selected on your application. The lab research staff reviews the application and makes a decision based on your academic background, research interests, personal statement and recommendation. How do I apply? Through the online application provided at How many labs may I apply to? You may apply to a maximum of 2 labs. It is strongly recommended to apply to laboratories that are close to your residence as no travel/relocation allowance will be provided. How important are my transcripts to my application? Your transcripts are an extremely important part of your application. For this reason, the transcript process has been updated for this application cycle to be easier and more efficient for applicants! When applying, simply make sure you have an unofficial/official copy of a transcript from your school and upload it in PDF format. Once uploaded, be sure to select the link on the education section of the application that allows you to view what you have uploaded. Once you have viewed it, you can then self-verify the transcript you've uploaded. It is extremely important to verify what you have uploaded because transcripts will not be verified by the SEAP Program Team; it is solely the responsibility of the applicant. DO NOT MAIL OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS TO ASEE HEADQUARTERS AS PART OF YOUR APPLICATION. When an award is issued, the applicant will be notified of the process to submit an official transcript at that time only. How important is my contact information? Please make sure the name entered on your application matches the name indicated on the transcript. If you are selected to participate in the program, we will use the address provided on the application for all tax documents that will need to be sent. NOTE: Make sure you input the correct address when you initally open your application. If you make a typo, the incorrect address will be the address needed to re-enter the application. Your correct will then not gain you access into your already opened application.

9 How will my reference submit their recommendation? While completing your application you will be asked for your reference address. Once the Reference section of your application is complete your reference will receive an explaining the procedure for submitting recommendations to ASEE. NOTE: These s are automatically generated s and some schools label them as spam and block them from ever reaching the teacher/advisor's mailbox. It is important that applicants follow up with their reference to insure that this is received. Letters of Recommendation are only accepted through uploading them into our system by the reference provider. Who can I choose as my reference? The reference should be a teacher or any person who can attest to your scientific and engineering skills and knowledge. If you want to list someone else as your reference, that is allowed. How do I find the research areas of the laboratories? Click on the participating labs link at the program website. Each lab has a description of their research areas. How do I know if my transcript and/or references have been received? You can sign into your application and on the left hand side, right under the "Logout" button, there is "Status" button. Clicking the "Status" button gives you the status of every part of your application. Included on the "Status" page is whether your transcript has been processed and whether your reference letters have been successfully uploaded by your reference providers. What is ASEE's policy on taxation of my stipend award? ASEE must report all stipend, internship support, health insurance and book allowance payments made to Recruitment Participants under the Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program. At year end, ASEE will provide participants and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with the informational Form 1099-MISC recording the amount paid to the participant during the tax year. ASEE does not withhold taxes from participant payments. Under current laws and regulations, participants are responsible for submitting quarterly estimates of income taxes to the IRS and paying the amounts due. Participants may have a similar liability with respect to state and/or local taxes depending upon the state and/or locality where the participant resides. You are considered an independent contractor, and not self-employed, and are not employed by either the United States Government or ASEE. If you have further tax questions, please contact the IRS, as ASEE is prohibited from giving tax advice.
