Nelson Summer Undergraduate Internship in Energy Sciences Research is being offered for the eleventh year in the amount of up to $6,000 per recipient for the summer of 2024. An intern can request an additional $1,000 travel fund to cover travel expenses to present the research conducted during the summer internship at a relevant conference. The intern should be enrolled at UNL during the conference. The deadline for the additional $1,000 travel request is August 30, 2024.
