George Washington Carver Internship Program

In honor of George Washington Carver, Iowa State’s first Black student and faculty member and a pioneering horticulturist, the George Washington Carver Internship Program offers students from across the country the chance to join our campus for a semester-long experience during the fall or spring. As a Carver intern, you'll collaborate with Iowa State researchers on hands-on projects in areas like food systems, agronomy, and more, gaining valuable experience throughout the academic year.
