The Research & Engineering Apprenticeship Program (REAP) is a summer STEM program that places talented high school students in research apprenticeships at area college and universities. REAP apprentices work under the direct supervision of a mentor on a hands-on research project. REAP apprentices are exposed to the real world of research, they gain valuable mentorship, and they learn about education and career opportunities in STEM. REAP apprenticeships are 5-8 weeks in length and apprentices receive a stipend ($1,500).
