How To Apply

The following is general information about the ASE Application Process:

Preliminary Application

Students complete a basic application form and write four short answer essays. The "Preliminary Application" is turned in at the end of January. 

Students who turn in the Preliminary Application on time are eligible to complete the Final Application.

Final Application

Applicants peruse the available internships in the "Position Description" book and choose three that look interesting. Applicants then write an essay for each position and gather two adult recommendations and a transcript. These materials are turned in to ASE at the beginning of March.   

Getting Accepted

ASE forwards student applications to mentors in mid- March. Mentors then have approximately four weeks to look over applications and choose their apprentices. Some mentors will conduct phone or in-person interviews. ASE then calls all accepted apprentices during the month of April. Students who are not selected are notified in early May.

Getting Started in the Apprenticeship

Students who are accepted are invited to an Orientation in May. Paperwork formalizing the apprenticeship is completed in May and June and most apprenticeships begin in late June.
