Connecting Students with Successful Science and Tech Companies in Kentucky

The EPSCoR Internship Program supports hands-on learning experiences for Kentucky STEM students, while also providing a valuable workforce pipeline to Science and Technology companies across the Commonwealth.

We work to kickstart STEM careers.

KY NSF EPSCoR provides financial support for Kentucky postsecondary students to sponsor their internship experience with science and tech companies with an operating presence in Kentucky.

Hands-on experience

8-16 week internships

Focused on undergrads

A suggested internship pay rate is $15 per hour but may need to be adjusted for institutional equity commensurate with applicant experience. The internship can support up to sixteen weeks at full-time effort (40 hours per week).
