Undergraduate Student Opportunities


2025 FUTURE COMPUTING SUMMER INTERNSHIP (FCSI) AT THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY (NSA)

WHEN:  June 2, 2025 – August 8, 2025 in Catonsville, MD

Application Window: September 15 – November 30, 2024

The Laboratory for Physical Sciences (LPS), Advanced Computing Systems (ACS) team in the NSA’s Research Directorate, is joining their counterparts in the Capabilities and Operations Directorates to provide a select number of undergraduate students an exciting 10-week summer internship opportunity at LPS, located in the Research Park building complex adjacent to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).

The Future Computing Summer Internship (FCSI) program was established in 2022 with the goal to expose participants to High Performance Computing (HPC), a field critical to national security, discovery, and technological innovation.

FCSI is intended for students who would have completed their junior year by Spring 2025 (expect to graduate in Spring 2026 or after), and that are pursuing degrees in math, computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or STEM related fields with strong mathematical and computer programming foundations and technical skills relevant to HPC.

Please note: Only US citizens are eligible to apply.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

FCSI seeks to encourage talented undergraduate students to pursue studies and careers in HPC, by engaging them in exciting, ongoing technical projects that further cultivate their academic and technical talents during the 10-week program. Under mentorship of NSA experts, interns will gain valuable skills in a variety of areas and applications relevant to HPC.

Some of the previous FCSI projects include adapting graph, linear algebra, number theory, and data analytics algorithms to supercomputers, or training new machine learning models, including quantum algorithms on specialized computer clusters, or researching the viability of using Machines and a non-VonNeumann computer architecture.

At the conclusion of the internship, participants will present the results of their work to NSA Senior leaders, managers, technical personnel, research and academic partners.

Eligibility, How to Apply, and More!


The new School of Environmental, Coastal, and Ocean Sustainability received a substantial gift that supports scholarships for undergraduate students pursuing degrees or research studies with an environmental focus that provides $7,500 in awards. Thanks to the donation we also now have $5,000 scholarships for the Semester by the Sea program. One of the scholarships is available for students to take advantage of this Fall 2024 semester.  

WLW-ECOS Student Success Scholarship 

The ECOS Student Success Scholarship supports undergraduate students in their junior and senior year who have financial need and a demonstrated interest in environmental science. Students do not have to be enrolled in an environmental science-based degree program to be eligible. 

Award Amount: $7,500 (per fall and spring terms) 

Students can re-apply each fall and spring for the scholarship.

Want to Get Involved in research and Creative Opportunities?

Here's How!  
Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry!

Few activities are as intellectually rewarding as research. In addition to the acquisition of invaluable research skills, students will:

  • Improve communication skills
  • Gain skills in gathering and analyzing data
  • Develop creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity
  • Learn to work independently or in a group
  • Learn how knowledge is created and how that knowledge can be overturned with new evidence or perspectives
  • Get opportunities to present and publish their ideas

Undergraduate research can take place in  every  discipline. It is especially common in the life sciences and physical sciences, where an estimated 40 percent of students nationwide engage in research under faculty mentorship; it is also found in the humanities, social sciences, and creative and performing arts.
