The AIST Steel Intern Scholarships are one-year scholarships preceded by a paid summer internship (summer preceding the scholarship funding). Applicants must commit to a paid summer internship at a North American steel-related company, and may need to relocate for the internship period. The recipient may be disqualified if they rescind an accepted offer of internship from within the program. Applicants must be students studying engineering or engineering technology disciplines, in addition to computer science, data science, environmental/sustainability science, and safety or industrial safety programs. Applications will be accepted from university sophomore and junior applicants, and university seniors planning to attend their first year of graduate school. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in a four-year undergraduate (minimum of 12 credits) or graduate program (minimum of 8 credits) at an accredited North American university. An applicant working full-time does not qualify. While not required, student membership to AIST through the Material Advantage Student Program, will enhance the application. A minimum of one letter is required, with a maximum of five letters being accepted. The letter(s) should be written by a professional familiar with the student's work and/or interests. Letters written by a representative of a steel-related company and/or a discipline-related professor will be given more weight in the scoring process. To obtain the highest score, applicants should submit a letter from both a representative of a steel-related company and a discipline-related professor.
