Educator Resources and Workshops

Emma L. Bowen Foundation was created in 1989 to prepare minority youth for careers in the media industry. The Foundation’s program is unlike traditional intern programs in that students work for partner companies during summers and school breaks from the summer following their junior year in high school until they graduate from college. During the five-year program, students have an opportunity to learn many aspects of corporate operations and develop company-specific skills. Corporations have an opportunity to train and mentor students with the option of fulltime employment upon completion of their college degrees.

Students earn an hourly salary and matching funds for college expenses. Academic excellence is also a key component of the program—students are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to remain in good standing. The Foundation staff works closely with corporate partners to monitor each student’s academic and work progress. An annual student conference, a community service program and a mentoring program are also provided to further enhance the student’s knowledge and experience. Resource guides for both students and corporate supervisors are provided to maximize the student’s experience while in the program.

This unique, multi-year program prepares a diverse group of talented young professionals to enter the workforce with specific job-related skills, knowledge of the corporate environment and a strong foundation for future advancement. Currently, we have more than 280 active students nationwide and an equal number of graduates. Approximately 80-90 new students join the program each year.

We’ll also help you build your leadership, teamwork and communication skills. And once the program is over, you may be invited for an office visit or pre-selected to interview on campus.

You’ve invested in your academic career. Now let us invest in you. Are you interested in learning more about the Ernst & Young Summer Leadership Program? Contact your local career center or campus recruiter for more information.

INSPIRE; Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience

[Students Grades 9-12 and Higher Education]

[Available: Nationally]The Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience, or INSPIRE, is a multitier year-round program designed for students in ninth to 12th grade who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and careers. 

The centerpiece of INSPIRE is the Online Learning Community, or OLC. The OLC provides a place for INSPIRE students to interact with their peers, NASA experts and education specialists. Through grade-level-appropriate educational activities, chats and discussion boards, students and their families are exposed to the many careers and opportunities NASA has to offer. In addition, the OLC provides the parents/guardians of participating students with resources designed to help them champion their child’s education and career goals. 

To ensure all students have an opportunity to participate in the OLC, those who qualify for the National School Lunch Program are eligible to receive a free laptop. 

To be considered for the INSPIRE Online Learning Community, applicants must:

·       Be entering the ninth through 12th grade when the school year begins.

·       Be at least 13 years of age or older at the time of application.

·       Be a U.S. citizen.

·       Have a minimum of a 2.5 academic grade point average on an unweighted 4.0 scale.

·       Demonstrate the desire and the academic preparation to pursue a STEM-related field of study beyond high school.

·       Complete the online application process with all required documentation.

Members in good standing with the INSPIRE OLC have the opportunity to compete for grade-appropriate summer STEM experiences. The summer STEM experience is designed to provide hands-on opportunities to investigate education and careers in STEM at a NASA facility or a Space Grant Institution/University. Each summer experience, except the Collegiate Experience, will take place at the NASA facility within the student's service area. To locate the NASA facility in your service area, please see the "NASA Facilities and Service Area" section below. 

Explorer Experience: INSPIRE OLC participants in the ninth grade may compete for The Explorer Summer Experience. Selected applicants and their parents/guardians receive a trip to the NASA facility within their service areas, where they will participate in a VIP tour and workshop. The visit occurs the summer between the students' ninth- and 10th-grade school year.

Collegiate Experience: INSPIRE OLC participants in the 10th grade may compete for The Collegiate Summer Experience. Students selected participate in a two-week on-campus experience at a Space Grant Institution/University. Students are chaperoned by the host institution where their exposure to college life is designed to improve study skills and encourage the pursuit of higher education and careers in STEM areas. NASA INSPIRE will pay round-trip travel expenses for those students who live more than 100 miles from the college or university providing this experience. In addition, the college or university provides lodging, meals, supervision and educational activities. The Collegiate Experience occurs the summer between the students' 10th- and 11th-grade school year. 

Residential Internship: INSPIRE OLC participants in the 11th grade may compete for the Residential Internship Summer Experience. Selected students participate in a paid, eight-week internship under a NASA mentor at the NASA facility within the students' service areas. During the internship, students are provided:

·       A stipend based on minimum wage for the state in which the NASA facility is located and a lunch allowance.

·       Meals and housing at a location within commuting distance from the NASA facility, typically a nearby college dormitory.

·       Daily transportation to and from work and required project activities.

·       Have a minimum of a 3.0 academic grade point average on an unweighted 4.0 scale.

·       Supervision and mentoring by scientists and engineers at the NASA center during working hours.

·       Interaction with qualified, experienced and highly motivated professional educators who provide supervision and implement the enrichment activities and cultural activities during non work hours.

Pre-College Internship: INSPIRE OLC participants in the 12th grade who have been accepted to attend a college or university to pursue a STEM degree may compete for the Pre-College Internship Summer Experience. Selected applicants participate in a paid, eight-week internship with a NASA mentor at the NASA facility within their service areas. During this internship, the student receives a stipend and is then responsible for making all lodging, meals and transportation arrangements. 

To be considered for a summer STEM experience, INSPIRE Online Learning Community participants must at a minimum:

·       Be an active participant in the INSPIRE Online Learning Community.

·       Have a 3.0 academic grade point average on an unweighted 4.0 scale.

·       Submit updated transcripts, recommendations and parental consent forms, and other documentation as instructed.

Note: Depending on funding availability, not all summer experiences may be offered every year. 

The open application period for NASA's INSPIRE OLC occurs only once each year in May. It is advised that if a student is interested in participating in NASA INSPIRE, they register at https://inspire.okstate.edu to receive updates and additional information.

Project L/EARN at Rutgers University: Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), have come together to offer an alternative to uninspired summer breaks through Project L/EARN, a program that enables disadvantaged undergraduate students from around the country to participate in a paid summer research training program at Rutgers.


The program is accepting applications through Feb. 16. Selections will be announced in early April.


The goal of the program is to enhance diversity in health-related graduate school programs. Founded nearly two decades ago, the program has helped dozens of disadvantaged students prepare for and enroll in graduate school and become successful professionals. This helps lead to a more diverse healthcare workforce which, program officials believe, will improve the health and health care of all Americans.


Ten students who are minorities, first-generation college attendees or who are from low-income families and who have an interest in health research are accepted each year. In addition to free tuition, room and board during the 10-week program, participants also receive three academic credits and a $3,900 stipend so they can “learn while they earn.”


During the program, participants attend daily lectures and computer research training seminars, and are matched with individual faculty mentors to complete a research project. The program also provides participants with networking opportunities, a visit to a professional research conference, career counseling and preparation for graduate school entrance examinations.
