Industry Internships
NDSGC-sponsored industry internships allow college students to complete a research project at a STEM-relevant company or laboratory to help develop STEM skillsets. Specific qualities that make a good industry partnership include, but are not limited to, real-world STEM experiences, hands-on and experiential learning, diverse perspectives, and an inclusive and equitable environment. These internships do not involve NASA centers (see NASA Internships for that funding opportunity).

How to Apply
Students are encouraged to reach out to the NDSGC if they know which company or laboratory they wish to intern with. Students may talk to the industry partner on their own, but will be required to apply with the NDSGC before solidifying any appointments if they want to be considered for NDSGC funding. We encourage all students to start a conversation with the NDSGC team first and see how we can help match you with, or finalize positions with, an industry partner.
If you are employed at a STEM-relevant company and would like to work with a qualified and fully-funded North Dakota student intern, please reach out to the NDSGC internship coordinator, Marissa Saad.
