The SULI (Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships) program is a summer internship program run by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that provides undergraduate students with hands-on research experience at one of the DOE's national laboratories.
Undergraduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and are currently enrolled in an accredited college or university are eligible to apply for the SULI program. Applicants must have completed at least one year of college and have a minimum GPA of 3.0.
The SULI program is typically 10 weeks long, running from early June to mid-August. However, the exact start and end dates may vary depending on the specific national laboratory and project assigned to the intern.
To apply for the SULI program, you must submit an application through the DOE's online system. The application typically opens in late fall or early winter and requires a personal statement, transcripts, and letters of recommendation. More information can be found on the DOE's website.
The DOE typically notifies applicants of their application status in early spring, usually around March or April. However, the exact timeline may vary depending on the specific national laboratory and project assigned to the intern. If you have not heard back by late April, you can contact the SULI program office for an update on your application status.
