The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP)	The NASA IV&V Facility hosts the Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP). Students who usually possess a diverse background and have interest in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering, work closely with scientists and engineers who act as their mentors. The program offers students a unique and positive experience in their fields of interest, thus encouraging them to pursue careers in science and engineering. To participate in this program at the NASA IV&V Facility, applicants must be U.S. citizens and provide their own form of transportation for the duration of the internship. This program is restricted to students who live and attend school within a 50 mile radius of the NASA IV&V Facility, Fairmont, WV 26554.	February 26, 2011
