ORISE
administers many programs that provides paid educational and research experiences
and have eligibility requirements that vary from program to
program. Students or faculty will need to go to the following link(s) and select
the program that interests them. Each program's web
page has instructions on eligibility requirements, application submission, and a link
to the online application or a printable application.
All ORISE programs require applicants to submit the appropriate application and supporting
documentation. The program's web page
also provides the name and e-mail address of a program specialist who can help answer
any questions that students may have concerning eligibility
requirements or submitting an application for a particular program. When e-mailing
questions to the program specialist the program name
should be included in the e-mail. When students choose a program that interests them,
they will need to CAREFULLY read the eligibility
requirements. Many of the programs administered by ORISE are open only to U.S. citizens
or permanent resident aliens.
