Students Will Conduct Research and Technical Projects at National Laboratories

Applications are currently being accepted for the Fall 2025 term of two undergraduate internship programs offered by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science: the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program and the Community College Internships (CCI) program. The application deadline is May 21, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. 

Through SULI and CCI, undergraduate students and recent graduates discover science and technology careers at the DOE national laboratories and gain new knowledge, skills, and experience to further their educational and career goals. Interns work directly with national laboratory scientists, engineers, and technical professionals, assisting them on research or technical projects that support the DOE mission. SULI is open to full-time students attending either 2-or 4-year colleges and universities or recent graduates within two years of receiving their bachelor’s degree or associate degree, while CCI is exclusively for community college students. Both programs are stipend-based and offered three times annually in fall, spring, and summer terms. 

Two workshops are planned to introduce each program and share the application process and strategies for submitting a compliant application.  

• April 1, 2025, from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT for CCI - Register here  

• April 3, 2025, from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT for SULI - Register here   

In addition to the workshops, the program office invites applicants and letter of recommendation writers to attend SULI and CCI Office Hours to answer administrative questions such as those pertaining to uploading transcripts, submitting letters of recommendation, and general inquiries.  Office hours are scheduled on April 30, May 7, and May 14 from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. EDT. Registration (register here) is required for attendance.

SULI and CCI programs are managed by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) in the Office of Science. More information can be found at https://science.osti.gov/wdts.
