Alabama Data Scholars Internship Program

Program Overview

With generous support from Innovate Alabama, QuantHub is proud to offer Alabama Data Scholars, an 8-week summer internship and skills development program designed to introduce high school students across the state to high-demand careers in the growing fields of data science, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI).

The inaugural class of 25 Alabama Data Scholars will be selected from a pool of Finalists and placed into internships with innovative organizations leveraging data to make a positive impact on the state.

During the program session, Scholars will also:

• • Build valuable skills in data analysis, visualization, business analytics, statistics, Python, and SQL
  • Gain exposure to emerging artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) applications
  • Explore academic opportunities at Alabama colleges and universities
  • Hear from special guest speakers
  • Participate in professional development and mentoring activities
  • Network with industry leaders and a diverse cohort of like-minded peers
  • Receive a $500 scholarship awarded upon successful program completion.

Eligibility

Any Alabama high school student over the age of 16 at the time of session start is eligible to participate.

No prior experience or skills are necessary to apply. Students interested in business or science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers may benefit most from participation, but all students eager to learn are welcome and encouraged to submit an application. 

Virtual and in-person internship opportunities will be available, and Scholars must be able to commit approximately 20 hrs/week to both “live” and asynchronous activities for the duration of the program.
