Stephen Wells Bright Star Scholar Program

The New Mexico Bureau of Geology & Mineral Resources is seeking undergraduate candidates for our Stephen Wells Bright Star Scholar Program. This program is a paid internship for NMT students who wish to work with and be mentored by one of our research scientists. Scholars will be paid $17/hour during their internships and can receive up to $11,500 per calendar year. These internships offer flexible hours and can extend into the summer. Employment can be in any area of NMBGMR specialization or service.

Current and past Stephen Wells Bright Star Interns have gained valuable experience at the NM Bureau of Geology and have made great contributions to furthering our mission.
