SETI Institute<p>The SETI Forward award was established in 2018 to support undergraduate students interested in careers in SETI and astrobiology. Each year, dozens of students intern with SETI and astrobiology scientists, but most pivot to other fields. SETI Forward aims to bridge the gap between these internships and jobs in SETI and astrobiology research by providing $1500 per award. The application deadline is August 31!</p><p>Learn more and apply: <a href="https://www.seti.org/seti-forward" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">seti.org/seti-forward</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/seti" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seti</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/undergrads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>undergrads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a></p>
