Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fusion of Energy Sciences, the 9-week summer fellowship is preceded by a 1-week introductory course at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. During the fall semester following the internship, students attend the American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics annual conference to present their work.
The program is intended for students that have completed their Junior year, majoring in Physics or another related field. Highly motivated Sophomores are alos eligible to apply.
