The Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research (NCESR) has offered an annual summer internship opportunity in energy sciences research to undergraduate students since the summer of 2014. At least eight summer internships are available, and each internship will receive an award of up to $6,000.
The undergraduate summer internship is named after Mr. Darrell J. Nelson, who served 41 years on the Custer County Public Power District and Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) Boards from 1970-2011, and was an advocate of lifelong learning. In 2005, Mr. Nelson proposed a partnership between NPPD and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln for the purpose of engaging in energy sciences research. The following year, the NCESR was created with NPPD’s support. Click on the year below for more information about the summer undergraduate internship opportunity.
