Opportunity Information: Apply for P15AS00183

The Business Plan Internship Program, offered by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Department of the Interior, aims to create opportunities for graduate students to improve the financial and operational management of national parks. This program encourages collaboration with 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations to provide educational and job training experiences that promote student understanding and appreciation of NPS resources.

Eligible applicants are invited to develop projects that address operational analysis needs within park units or program offices, focusing on financial planning and management tools. Interns work in teams on-site, guided by NPS's Business Management Group, which ensures they receive the necessary financial expertise and technical assistance.

The program strives to stimulate interest in conservation careers among students from underrepresented disciplines in the NPS workforce, such as business, public policy, and environmental management. The term of funding agreements can range from one to five years, depending on project specifics, with an estimated annual funding of around $300,000, potentially reaching up to $450,000 based on appropriations. The goal is to develop a lifelong stewardship ethic in students regarding public lands while enhancing the operational effectiveness of national parks.
