The Joint Science Education Project (JSEP) and the Joint Antarctic
School Expedition (JASE) invite high school students in their junior
year to apply for two National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported polar
science exploration programs. The JSEP project will take place in
Greenland and the JASE project will be located in Antarctica and the
Chilean Antarctic Institute in Chile.
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. Students from the United States join a Chilean high school
expedition to Escudero Base 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. JASE participants must be fluent in Spanish.
Both programs provide an opportunity for students to connect with polar
scientists as they conduct research in a wide variety of fields
including biology, geology, climatology, chemistry, and engineering. The
successful candidates will also have significant hands-on experiences in
field research under the guidance of professional teachers from the
participating nations.
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. NSF's Division of Polar
Programs covers all costs, including food, transportation, lodging, and
instruction for students selected to participate.
Application deadline: 31 January 2017.
