Five internships will be awarded for year 2013, each with $5000 of student labor (approximately 15 weeks, limited to UW-Madison undergraduate students) and $500 of supplies to be spent at the station on the student project. In 2012, projects were awarded at Arlington, Kemp, Rhinelander, Prairie du Sac, and West Madison.
Funding is intended to support a student full-time for the summer with about half of the time spent on an individual research project in conjunction with a CALS faculty member and about half-time spent on a variety of station activities under the direction of the superintendent. As part of the student work with the superintendents, a poster presentation should be assembled that can become part of the station's permanent displays.
Some stations may be able to provide housing options. Credits for internship experience may be possible by separate arrangements with the student's on campus advisor.
