SSI Host - Summer Student Internship Host Information
Hosting a SSI Intern:
The Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) at Northern Arizona University is soliciting intern host sites for the Environmental Summer Internship Program.
Undergraduate and graduate students interested in environmental or related careers (law, policy, management, engineering, science, etc.) will be selected by ITEP to work
in tribal environmental offices, regional EPA offices, and other tribal environmental organizations for ten weeks, from approximately June through August. As an intern
host you gain a dedicated intern who will complete a new or on-going project directly related to air quality, which will benefit the student, your agency and the environment.
ITEP will choose host sites based on how well the projects match interns' credentials and skills. ITEP will provide each student intern with a $4,000 stipend, with
housing and travel allowances available as needed.
