EPIC and the UFS community seek to build a strong group of modelers and researchers who can utilize and improve operational modeling systems. As the next generation of Earth systems scientists, students are crucial to our work, and EPIC and the UFS community must leverage the diverse talents of students across the Nation to accelerate research to operations.
Be sure to visit this page regularly for new student highlights and opportunities!
There are many ways students can be involved in the UFS community.
The William M. Lapenta Internship is a full-time 10-week program that runs from late May to early August. Participants in this internship are involved in projects addressing forecasting problems, earth system modeling, and the communication of forecast uncertainty.
Previous Lapenta interns working with EPIC and the UFS focused on student outreach and engagement strategies to improve representation in the UFS community and the network of Earth System Modelers more broadly.
You can view all previous Lapenta Intern projects here. If you’re interested in applying, click here.
The Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship includes academic assistance for two years of full-time study and a 10-week, full-time paid internship at a NOAA facility during the summer.

The WINGS Ph.D. Dissertation Fellowship, supported by NOAA’s Weather Program Office (WPO) and administered by UCAR’s Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS), will develop the next generation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) scholars, with the goal of bolstering the future workforce of America’s Weather Enterprise.

As a student ambassador for the Unified Forecast System (UFS), your primary role is to serve as a liaison between the UFS community and academia. Past student ambassadors have presented their work at the Unifying Innovations in Forecasting Capabilities Workshop (UIFCW), at the AMS Annual Meeting, and more! UFS Ambassadors also contribute to ongoing UFS community engagement and outreach activities.

The Unifying Innovations in Forecasting Capabilities Workshop is an opportunity for community partners, including academia, industry, and government, to collaborate in our shared mission to advance forecasting capabilities.
In 2024, the EPIC program office, in partnership with UCAR | CPAESS, offered thirteen travel grants to enable students to attend the Unifying Innovations in Forecasting Capabilities Workshop 2024 (UIFCW24) in Jackson, Mississippi. These grants gave students with limited access to funding the opportunity to attend the annual workshop in person. Over 40 students applied for this travel grant, including international applicants. Thirteen students were selected to come to Jackson, representing 11 universities from across the US.
In 2024, students attending UIFCW had the chance to visit the local Weather Forecast Office in Jackson, Mississippi. This was a great opportunity for students to see what a career in the field looks like and speak to local meteorologists in the area.
For UIFCW to continue to be successful, we need continued input and participation from students! Past students have enjoyed being able to share their perspective on workshop activities prior to attending to ensure that the workshop addresses student needs.
Are you interested in participating in future planning for UIFCW? Send an email to ufs.community@noaa.gov.
