NM SMART Grid Center Externships

About the Program

Externships are research opportunities that enable graduate students to spend a semester at a national lab, industry or research facility, government agency, or higher education institution other than their degree-granting institution. Activities during this exchange may include conducting research at a host institution, participating in training, or taking courses at the host institution. Externships are available Fall 2019 through Fall 2023 and are funded at up to $4,000 to cover lodging, travel, and living expenses; up to four externships will be funded each year. Students, in consultation with their faculty advisors, are responsible for determining externship sites, mentors, and logistics.
