The Washington Center would like to announce a special summer internship program that could provide students from The University of Akron, Main Campus with substantial financial assistance by means of federally-funded placements with the Federal Aviation Administration. 

Selected undergraduate or graduate students from your institution have the opportunity to intern during summer 2008 with the FAA. Students with Computer Science and related majors are particularly encouraged to apply for this internship opportunity.  Applicants must be U.S. citizens and able to receive a favorable background investigation.  Students who are accepted into the FAA program will receive funding covering the cost of Washington Center program and housing fees, plus earn a weekly stipend of $250.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to apply as soon as they are able.  Applications will be accepted throughout March. Students from The University of Akron, Main Campus must receive approval from their campus liaison to participate in our program.  If students are unsure of their campus liaison, they can contact info@twc.edu.  To apply for the FAA internship program, students must submit an online application with The Washington Center at http://www.twc.edu/students/how_to_apply.shtml#online.  When applying, students should choose Option 2 for the Government Scholarship Program: Department of Transportation.
