George Washington Carver Internship Program

In honor of George Washington Carver, an innovative horticulturalist and Iowa State’s first Black student and faculty member, the George Washington Carver Internship Program offers students from around the country an opportunity to visit our campus for eight weeks in the summer. Selected students work side-by-side with Iowa State researchers, in areas from food systems to agronomy.
