SLI Internships

STEM Internship Opportunities

The Science Learning Institute connects STEM students with school-year and summer internships. Scholarships are provided for students through the Financial Aid office. 

Scholarships provide students with opportunities to attend college, advance their knowledge and skills for workforce preparedness, and help them prepare for both academic opportunities and financial challenges after transfer.

Internships benefit partners as well as students - read what one of our partners, the UCSF Rosenman Institute has to say about our partnership. 

SLI runs two cycles of internships - one during the winter quarter and one during the summer. There will be no cycle for winter 2024. The next SLI internship cycle will be summer 2024.
