HOW TO APPLY

Please do not hesitate to contact your society representatives with questions about the application forms and application process.

SUMMER 2013 PROGRAM
Dates TBD

Applications **Due 31 December 2012**

WISE seeks applications from outstanding engineering students who display evidence of leadership skills and have a keen interest in public policy. Minority students are encouraged to apply.

Applicants should select a sponsoring society(s), fill out an application form (documents linked below), write two (2) brief essays in response to questions, arrange for two (2)faculty references, and forward an official transcript.

To qualify for consideration, applicants MUST BE:

• Citizens or legal permanent residents of the United States.
• Juniors, seniors, or entering their final year of undergraduate studies in engineering (or computer science).  WISE will also accept applications from engineering grads who are beginning Masters level study in a technology policy-related degree.

WISE applicants should apply directly to their desired sponsor using the contact information provided.

NOTE: Some of the WISE societies - AIChE, ANS, ASME, IEEE and SAE - will sponsor only individuals who are members of their societies at the time of application.  If you belong to more than one sponsoring society, you may submit an application to each society of which you are a member.  However, if you are not currently a student member of a WISE sponsoring society, and you wish to apply, then consider joining.

PLEASE NOTE: The dates of the WISE program are not flexible. Due to the short nature of the WISE program, students MAY NOT MISS DAYS by arriving in Washington late, leaving early or taking vacations during the program.  You must be present for all 9 weeks.

In addition to the broad eligibility guidelines for participation in the WISE program, each sponsoring society uses its own criteria in determining which students to select from its applicant pool.

Frequently Asked Questions - For questions about the application forms and the process not covered in the FAQ, please contact the designated society coordinator.  All names and contact info are listed below.

**The 2013 Application forms will be available in September 2012.
