Program Description
The AIHEC SRE is a summer research program that
provides students enrolled in a tribal college
or university with opportunities to participate
in on-going Kennedy Space Center (KSC) research
projects, or tailored projects relevant to their
reservation, and gain hands-on experience in
their field of study. The SRE is a student learning
work experience in which the participant team
is paired with a mentor from KSC's science or
engineering laboratories through a match between
the lab's requirements and the student's background,
academic level and interest. The SRE covers
the stipend, round trip transportation from
home or university to Kennedy Space Center,
and housing.
