Join the Consortium

NPSC provides industries and laboratories an excellent opportunity to spot outstanding undergraduate talent early and to begin to develop a relationship with top students as they enter graduate school. In addition, through NPSC membership, sponsoring employers may return their own employees to academia for graduate degree work and opportunities for professional advancement. An added benefit is the ability of NPSC to link employers with more than 100 prominent U.S. universities for potential collaborative research.

The two summers of internship and a strong mentoring program allow employers to build the relationship further. As mentors, the employer sponsors and the university in which the Fellow is enrolled work together to provide a close, supportive environment. The review of student interest and performance during the second or third year of graduate school, and the possibility of a contract for a specified number of years after the Ph.D., protect employer interest.

To learn more about how your organization can benefit from membership in the NPSC program, please call the NPSC Executive Director at (213) 821-2409, or send an email to npschq@npsc.org. Or, complete and fax the Employer Letter of Intent.
