The Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and
Joint Antarctic School Expedition (JASE) announce a call for
applications from U.S. high school students interested in participating
in polar field research. JSEP and JASE are National Science Foundation
(NSF) supported science and cultural-exchange programs for high school
students.
The three-week JSEP program takes place entirely in Greenland.
Participants from the United States, Denmark, and Greenland live and
work together while exploring current research and completing their own
inquiry-based investigations. The program includes two weeks of
extensive field experiences near Kangerlussuaq and a final week with a
visit to Summit Station, the U.S. research facility located at the top
of the Greenland ice sheet.
The one to two-week JASE program takes place in King George Island,
Antarctica and Punta Arenas, Chile. Students from the United States join
a Chilean high school expedition to Escudero Station on King George
Island. The program includes visits to international research stations
and field sites in Antarctica as well as the Chilean Antarctic Institute
in the Patagonia region of Chile.
JSEP and JASE are open to U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the
11th grade at the time of application. Students may apply for one or
both programs using the same application. JASE participants must be
fluent in Spanish. NSF's Division of Polar Programs covers all
participant costs, such as food, transportation, lodging, and
instruction for students selected to participate.
Application deadline: 31 January 2016.
