# High school internships: find programs you actually qualify for

## A strong GPA does not replace a residence requirement

Two fictional students considered against NIST's published basic conditions. This is not a NIST eligibility decision.

### Basic screening facts

| Student | School status and GPA | Permanent residence | Availability |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A: U.S. citizen | Junior at application; 3.4 unweighted | 24 miles from campus | Full program |
| B: U.S. citizen | Senior at application; 3.8 unweighted | 200 miles from campus | Wants remote work |
