The Andrus Center for Public Policy is accepting applications for the Andrus Scholars Program for Boise State undergraduates.
The summer internship program provides environmentally focused students with meaningful work experience that will enhance learning and skill development, assist in post-graduation job placement and ultimately support the development of the environmental and public lands stewards of tomorrow.
Students serve internships with federal, state, nonprofit, or other mission-centered businesses. The application deadline is Feb. 5.
Andrus Scholars receive:
• a 10-week, 30/hr per week, six-credit hour summer internship.
• $6,000 in Andrus Scholar funds to help pay for internship credit hours, provide the equivalent of a living wage for hours worked, and internship-related travel and expenses.
Participating partners include Advocates for the West, the Bureau of Land Management, Boise District Office, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission in Portland, Oregon, Idaho Conservation League, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, and the USFS, Boise National Forest.
Due to COVID-19, some internships may take place remotely or partially remotely. Some internships are supported by the National Science Foundation Idaho EPSCoR (Program under award number OIA-1757324).
