How to Apply

SHIRE Application Information

All spaces for the 2025 program have been filled. Look for updates about next year’s program in January!

We invite ISR students to apply to the Summer High-School Internships in Research Experiences (SHIRE) program in the spring semester of their sophomore and/or junior year. Admission decisions take into consideration high school grades, conflicts during the timeframe, and input from your ISR teachers. SHIRE Applications consist of two parts: an application to the program through the CSEO (for acceptance) and an application through the POWER Youth Portal (for payment, select SHIRE as your internship). The portal is open during the spring semester (typically mid-February).
