Independent Research Internships for High School Students

On-line Application Information

Before filling out your application, please note the following: We currently can not provide housing to students on campus.  Thus, the program is only open to  students in the central New Jersey area. Only students that have completed their junior or senior years are eligible. You must first register before filling out the application.  On the application start page, first click on:                       Once registered, you will receive an email with instructions on activating your account.  You can then begin filling in the application.  The application form will automatically send an email to your two references requesting a letter supporting your application.  It is up to you to ensure that these letters are received. Official transcripts must be sent separately.   Send them to Chris Ritter, PPPL, PO Box 451, Princeton, NJ  08543. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Once you "submit" your application, you can not modify it in any way.  The software does not save your work until you submit it so consider using a program like Word to save your answers to the short essay questions and then pasting the text into the appropriate area. Deadline for submission of all material (including two reference letters and a transcript) is March 31, 2008. To register and begin your application, click here.
