Alabama State University students interested in pursuing a career in STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) now have a greater opportunity to enhance their
educational and career experience through paid apprenticeships and fellowships, via
the Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP).
The AEOP apprenticeships and fellowships program is administered by the Rochester
Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York on behalf of the U.S. Army.
"AEOP is an Army and Department of Defense-funded program for undergraduates through
post-doctoral students interested in STEM fields," stated Brit Milazzo, communication
and marketing manager with RIT, in an email. "It gives participants the opportunity
to work alongside world-renowned scientists and engineers at facilities across the
nation directly benefiting the mission of the country (but without donning the uniform
or committing to join the military).
He explained that these paid experiences can place ASU students in hands-on research
and innovation situations by working on projects they're most passionate about in
the STEM arena.
INFORMATION FOR ASU STUDENTS
AEOP applications are now open and available for Alabama State University students
at https://apps.ideal-logic.com/
"One of the cool things that can come out of this is the opportunity to be eligible
for a scholarship through the Department of Defense – the SMART scholarship – which
not only pays for a student’s education and education-related expenses but also provides
them with a guaranteed job after graduation...doing something that complements their
degree or field of study."

in an apprenticeship or fellowship, they may call the following number (585-475-7177)
