What Is High School Internship Program?
LANL hires qualified New Mexico high-school seniors into paid, mentor-driven technical and professional roles in Los Alamos. Placements may involve science, engineering, computing, business, administration, or operations support. Interns work part time during the school year and may work full time during school breaks; summer appointments are typically 10 weeks. The 2026 high-school rate is USD 16.89 per hour for both technical and professional appointments.
The newest applicant guide requires senior standing and age 16 by the internship start, a cumulative 3.0 GPA, attendance at a New Mexico high school, and a new-employment drug test. Apply through a matching live LANL job ad with a resume, cover letter, and unofficial transcript. The guide lists August 1-December 31 for fall/spring recruiting and January 1-April 11 for summer, but does not print a cycle year or submission time; the general high-school information link is currently broken, so verify the exact job posting before relying on those dates.
