​SSC Pacific works with two summer internship programs designed for exceptional high school students and college (community college, junior college, undergrad and graduate) students who have an interest in a future career in the science, technology, mathematics and engineering (STEM) fields.  The deadline for applications for the 2018 summer internship is the end of next month, Oct. 31, 2017

For high school candidates:
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.

From StudySoup:

Scholarship Details As a company driven to help students succeed, we know that college is an important step along many career paths, but it can be expensive. Students can upload notes to StudySoup to lighten their financial burden. However, we still felt like we could do more to give back to the future leaders of the world. We also believe that it is our responsibility to foster innovation in the field of technology and help underrepresented students break down barriers. Therefore, we are offering a $2000 Women in Technology Scholarship to an outstanding female student who is planning a career in the field of computer science and/or computer programming.

Scholarship Eligibility Any female individual at least sixteen (16) years old who meets one of the following criteria:

• Currently attending high school (or equivalent) and will be attending an accredited university or college in the next academic year.
