Summer internships 2021

[Guest]

Should we anticipate if we are selected this year to have internships this coming summer? Considering how long a background check takes, is that feasible?

SMART doesn't really care about the background check. I did my entire internship before my clearance was even started so I didn't have a CAC, computer access, or a badge for the restricted area on base. Still made $25/hr but it was super boring.

It's totally feasible, really just depends on how on quickly your SF moves. If you don't get processed in time, whether or not you'll be allowed to have an internship depends on the SF.

if we are selected this year

This makes me thing you would be awarded the scholarship this year. You do not intern the summer after being awarded the scholarship. A 2021 recipient would intern summer 2022

Thank you very much for that. That helps me plan out this summer internships better.
