NEBRASKA: NESTIP intern funding boosts Nebraskan’s startup
Funding from the Nebraska Engineering, Science and Technology Internship Program (NESTIP) helped The Pennycress Company, a Nebraska startup developing an oilseed crop for sustainable fuels, hire University of Nebraska-Lincoln student Meghan Burwell as its first employee.
Funded by NSF and administered by Nebraska EPSCoR, NESTIP provides businesses up to $5,000 in cost-share support for STEM internships while helping grow the state’s research ecosystem.
