The WAVE Fellows program supports this goal by increasing visibility and accessibility to Caltech's PhD programs to undergraduates in STEM fields who are seriously considering attending graduate school. WAVE Fellows is a 10-week undergraduate research program that provides robust programming in the areas of academic and professional development.
Applicants will identify several possible mentors with whom they are interested in working.
Once accepted, Fellows will work with their mentor to define and develop a research project.
Fellows will carry out the work over a 10-week period during the summer and submit two interim reports, a research abstract, and final paper. At the conclusion of the program, students give an oral or poster presentation at one of several Seminar Days, symposia modeled on a professional technical meeting.
The 2025 WAVE Fellows award is $6,000 for the ten-week period, plus on-campus housing, and a dining and travel supplement of ~$1000. Caltech housing is available and we strongly encourage all Fellows to live on campus. The 2025 WAVE Fellows program dates are June 17 through August 22.
In addition to the research experience, WAVE Fellows will participate in:
Weekly seminars by Caltech faculty & JPL scientists and engineers
An academic and professional development series on developing a research career, graduate school admissions, effective writing and oral communications, and other topics of interest to future researchers
Effective writing workshops
Social and cultural activities
Weekly small student-faculty dinners
Manuscript which can help students navigate finding a research opportunity

REU Finder has ongoing Internship opportunities!
The Statewide California Earthquake Center (SCEC) is excited to announce that applications are now open for Summer 2024 undergraduate Internships! Since 1994, SCEC Internships have supported impactful research experiences of more than 700 undergraduate students who worked with SCEC scientists on a broad range of earthquake science projects, including paleoseismic field investigations, 3D fault mapping, ground motion simulations and other high-performance computing applications, hazard analysis, and educational products.
SCEC Internships are fully funded, including travel and lodging expenses. Undergraduate students interested in earthquake science have the opportunity to apply for two internship programs:
The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) internship pairs students one-on-one with scientists for specialized research at the scientist’s institution or field site.
The Supported Opportunities for Undergraduates and Researchers to Collaborate on Earthquakes (SOURCES) is a remotely-mentored research experience that allows participants the opportunity to gain experience regardless of geographic location or availability of local researchers.
To apply visit: scec.org/internships/apply. Applications received by February 19 will be considered in the first round of internship offers. Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. (Applications received after February 19 will be reviewed as space allows.)
Contact internships@scec.org with any questions.
The Building Opportunities for Leadership and Development (BOLD) Internship Program is a paid summer internship for undergraduate college students that are interested in working in non-technical career opportunities at Google. Only students who are in their penultimate (second to last) year of a full-time Bachelor's degree program and plan to return to school for at least one academic term before completing their degree are eligible to apply.
Students from all schools are encouraged to apply, including those who:
Have demonstrated a commitment to equality of opportunity
Have faced and overcome adversity
Identify as a first generation tech industry worker
Students completing their 2nd year of college or university will be eligible to apply for the BOLD Immersion Program. Current seniors planning to graduate at the end of this academic year should visit Google Students for full-time entry-level opportunities.
The BOLD internship application will open in September of the year prior to the internship, and will remain open for approximately one month. To be notified about future opportunities, search ‘BOLD’ at careers.google.com/jobs and toggle the button at the top that says ‘turn on job alerts for your search.’
