NREIP — Undergraduate & Graduate Students
The Office of Naval Research’s Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP), provides an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate university students to participate in research at a Department of Navy (DoN) laboratory during the summer.
The goals of the NREIP are to encourage participating students to pursue science and engineering careers, to further education via mentoring by laboratory personnel and their participation in research, and to make them aware of DoN research and technology efforts, which can lead to employment within the DoN.
NREIP provides competitive research internships to approximately 275 college students (200 undergraduate students and 75 graduate students) each year. Participating students spend ten weeks during the summer conducting research at approximately 21 DoN laboratories.

Community College Catalyst (3C) - Undergraduate Students
Working with the award winning Hartnell NASA-CIPA and NSF-sponsored programs at Hartnell Community College, the Naval Postgraduate School matches undergraduate students who excel in science, technology, engineering and (STEM) disciplines with NPS research faculty for 8 weeks each summer for the past 8 years.
Hartnell Community College, a Hispanic serving institution, is among the top community colleges in the country in promoting and achieving success for its underrepresented students in the STEM disciplines.
The Naval Postgraduate School provides graduate research assistant opportunities for these community college students, providing a “kick-start” when the students transfer to a 4-year university.
There have been almost 200 interns, 95% of whom have gone on to 4-year universities to study and earn a STEM degree.
Research Participation Program (RPP) Returning STEM @ NPS students only
Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) supports the U.S. Department of Energy and other federal agencies' mission to strengthen the nation's science education and research initiatives.
After the successful completion of one of the other STEM at NPS internship programs, returning interns may apply for further internships at NPS.
