KEY REQUIREMENTS:
Help
  • Appointment may be subject to a suitability or fitness determination, as determined by a completed background investigation.
  • Must sign Army Internship Program Participant Agreement.
  • Must submit unofficial transcript(s) or verification documentation. Official transcripts will be required if the applicant is selected for a position.
  • Who May Apply: Students who are eligible for participation in the Department of the Army Internship Program
    Positions are open to current students pursuing a qualifying degree or certificate in an accredited high school, college (including 4-year colleges/universities, community colleges, and junior colleges); professional, technical, vocational, and trade school; advanced degree programs; or other qualifying educational institution on at least a half-time basis (as defined by the institution in which the student is enrolled). Short-term training programs (e.g., several two-week programs completed) are not considered an academic course of study.

    Internship for current students in good standing at an accredited education.

    For this internship, you must be able to work full-time when not attending classes (i.e. summers, fall and spring breaks, etc), part-time, flexible.

    To qualify for a Pathways Internship as a GS-03, students must have completed one full academic year of post-high school study.

    To qualify for a Pathways Internship as a GS-04, students must have completed two full academic years of post-high school study or have an associate's degree.

    To qualify for a Pathways Internship as a GS-05, students must have completed 4 academic years of post-high school leading to a bachelor's degree or equivalent degree. NOTE: Students that are graduating and are not subsequently enrolled in another program might not meet the work-hour requirements prior to graduation.

    This position may be filled at the GS-03 level (Salary Range: $29,548 to $38,411), GS-04 level (Salary Range: $33,172 to $43,119), or GS- 05 level (Salary Range: $37,113 to $48,249). If you are selected at the GS-03 or GS-04 level, you may be non-competitively promoted if you successfully complete the requirements and if recommended by management. However, promotion is neither implied nor guaranteed.

    For qualification purposes, an academic year is computed as follows:
    • At the undergraduate level, successfully completed education that has not led to possession of a degree is credited based on its relationship to 120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours. For example, 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours is comparable to 1 year of undergraduate education. Four years of progressive study or 120 semester hours meets the degree requirements. Additional credit cannot be given for duplicate course work.
    • For study at a business or technical school, 36 weeks of study (20+ classroom hours per week) is comparable to 1 academic year above high school.
    • An academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that the school attended has determined to represent 1 academic year of full-time study. This determination is made based on normal course loads for a full year of study in the graduate program. If that information cannot be obtained from the school, 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours should be considered as satisfying the 1 year of full-time study requirement. Part-time graduate education is creditable in accordance with its relationship to a year of full-time study at the school attended.
    • When academic credit is expressed in contract months, units, or other terms that differ from conventional semester or quarter hours, it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide an interpretation of such credits from the appropriate institution in order to equate them to the semester or quarter hours specified in the standard.
    NOTE: If your college, vocational, trade, technical or high schools' definition of "academic year" differs from above, you must submit proof of this difference (e.g., copy of course catalog that defines an academic year). Absent this documentation, you will screened for academic qualifications based on the academic hours as defined in the bullets above.

    You will be evaluated on the basis of your level of competency in the following areas:
    • Oral Communication
    • Research and Data Analysis
    • Scientific Research
    • Technology Application

    For this internship, you must be a current student majoring in MATHEMATICS or STATISTICS

    FOREIGN EDUCATION: If you are using education completed in foreign colleges or universities to meet the qualification requirements, you must show the education credentials have been evaluated by a private organization that specializes in interpretation of foreign education programs and such education has been deemed equivalent to that gained in an accredited U.S. education program; or full credit has been given for the courses at a U.S. accredited college or university.
