Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP)

Posted on September 4, 2024

The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) places high school students in Department of Navy (DoN) laboratories where they take part in real Naval research for eight weeks during the summer. SEAP gives academically talented sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in STEM the opportunity to learn about Naval research and technology while receiving first-class mentoring by top scientists and engineers. SEAP is a competitive program with around 300 placements in more than 38 laboratories around the country in which many participants go on to careers within the DoN. Interns are selected based upon academic achievement, personal statements, recommendations, and career and research interests.

Applications for the Summer of 2025 are open August 1 through November 1, 2024.

The internship has a duration of eight weeks (with the possibility of extending up to two additional weeks). Stipend levels will be determined by the student’s years of participation in SEAP and will be paid bi-weekly via direct deposit. Stipends are as follows:

New participant: $4,000
Returning participant: $4,500
