Saturday Academy Follow Your Curiousity
Saturday Academy Classes and Workshops ASE Get Involved News and Resources Group Options

Note: Below are Summer 2012 positions. We will continue to post internships as they become available, typically throughout the month of February. The newer ones are listed at the bottom numerically.  We usually end up with more than 90 posted positions and some individual mentors accept several interns, resulting in a total of between 120-130 internships.

Stipend levels might change during the application period (typically they increase, rather than decrease). Students who qualify for the Federal Free/Reduced Lunch Program will be awarded a $1,000 stipend, regardless of the internship description.

Please DO NOT contact the mentors of the positions directly unless they've initiated contact with you.  If you have questions about a particular position or about the process, please contact ASE staff at 503-200-5861.  Thank you.
