The 2026 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Entry Point! internship application is now open!
Entry Point! is a STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) internship program for college students with physical, sensory, and/or learning disabilities. It offers an opportunity to test-drive skills and work with a team of experts in a STEMM field of interest. Student materials are referred to Entry Point! partners who will select the appropriate candidates for their summer opportunities.
These internships are good for students studying Astronomy, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Biology, Chemistry, Math, Microbiology, Neuroscience, Statistics, Computer Science, as well as Mechanical, Electrical and Biomedical Engineering.
Applications will be accepted for review beginning the first week in October. Portfolio referral to our partners begins in October. Please note that applications and materials will be reviewed and referred to partners as they come in. Apply early for more opportunities. The application period will close on February 13, 2026.
Our partners expect us to refer students who have demonstrated the skills and talents in their STEMM fields. To accomplish this, our best applicants meet the following criteria:
- Enrollment as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student for the academic term before and after the desired internship
- Must have a disability – apparent or non-apparent
- Must have a grade point average of 3.0 (B) or better
