Who can apply?
- AEP requires students to be enrolled full time in a college or university program, to have completed freshman year and to be at least 18 years old.
- Engineering students must be enrolled in an ABET-accredited program and have at least a 3.0 GPA.
- The selected opening controls major, location, work authorization, schedule, relocation or housing eligibility and any additional technical qualifications.
AEP's housing stipend and continuing-education benefit are for eligible interns, not automatic benefits for every location or role.
