Each summer, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office and Chesapeake Research Consortium team up to offer several paid summer internships primarily for college students. In summer 2026, five opportunities will be available to support a range of activities in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Each paid internship will run 12 weeks (mid-May through mid-August). These opportunities are intended for students who will be entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year of college study.
Applications are due on February 9, 2026; visit the internships overview page to learn more about all five opportunities.
