The Geosciences Bridge Program offers a 6-week paid internship for students planning to pursue careers in the geosciences. The program includes lectures, field trips, hands-on activities, two for-credit college courses, housing, meals, travel to and from
the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), and a stipend.
The 2021 Program will run for six weeks during the summer of 2021. All application materials (student application, teacher, counselor and parent forms) must be in by April 23, 2021 at 11:59p.m. est. Click the application link in the menu to apply.
The program is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center (LMRCSC) at UMES. The program introduces high school seniors to ocean sciences, atmospheric sciences, and geographic
information systems (GIS)/Remote Sensing techniques. The activities provided and experience on campus strengthen students’ knowledge of mathematics, teach them life skills that will prepare them for college life, and enhance their academic performance
through advisement, social support, and tutorial services.
This collaborative summer program is designed to recruit and train high school students, particularly from underrepresented groups, in various areas of the Geosciences field.
