Summer Minority Internship Program

Spend an exciting summer learning about marine science!

Purpose
To provide Alabama minority undergraduates the opportunity to observe, experience and participate in a marine science education program under the direction and supervision of experienced marine science educators.

For the last 3 years the Discovery Hall Programs at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab has provided marine science education experiences for junior, seniors and graduate minority science and/or education students through its summer internship program.  Located off the coast of Alabama, the Dauphin Island Sea Lab offers summer programs in marine science to elementary, middle and high school students and teachers.  The interns will work with Sea Lab marine educators assisting in all aspects of logistics planning, classroom prep, and teaching.  In addition there will be an opportunity for the interns to teach in outreach programs off campus.  This is a wonderful opportunity for science education majors to learn more about the Northern Gulf of Mexico and marine science. 

The internships include a $3,000 stipend, room, board and a travel fee of $250 for each intern.
