SEAP Program

The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) is a Department of Navy program designed to give high school students interested in science and engineering disciplines exposure to real-world laboratory research. Apprentices are competitively selected and assigned to a participating laboratory to pursue scientific experiences with a scientist or engineer who mentors the student for eight continuous summer weeks.

Must:

  • Be a U.S. citizen
  • Have completed at least Grade 9 (graduating seniors are eligible to apply)

Program Highlights
