Description: ENTRY POINT! is a program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) offering Outstanding Internship Opportunities for Students with Disabilities in Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science. To meet the challenge of the competitive global economy in the new millennium, private industry and government research agencies must expand the pool of technical talent. AAAS has developed unique partnerships with IBM, NASA, Texas Instruments, JPMorganChase, and the National Science Foundation to meet their human resources needs. Working with its partners, AAAS identifies and screens undergraduate and graduate students with disabilities who are pursuing degrees in science, engineering, mathematics and computer science, and places them in paid summer internships. This resource is appropriate for all users, particularly for people with disabilities, because it targets individuals with disabilities and informs people with disabilities about activities targeted at them such as summer camps, educational programs, scholarships, internships, professional development, and professional organizations.
