SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The Student Information System (SIS) is designed to collect on-line 
applications from students for NIST programs such as the Student 
Volunteer Program (SVP) and Summer High School Intern Program (SHIP). 
The purpose of the application is to obtain information needed to 
evaluate applicant qualifications for potential positions.
    The Student Information System is an online application which 
collects basic biographical information about the student. The 
application contains four sections. The first section collects personal 
information to include name, address, phone, email, program selection, 
work availability, and location preferences. The second section 
collects work and volunteer experience including start and end date, 
hours worked, name and address of employer, supervisor's contact 
information, job description, and job-related skills. The third section 
collects any special training, knowledge, skill, ability, and/or 
publications that demonstrate the applicant's skill sets to perform a 
position. The fourth section collects education information to include 
current enrollment, name and address of the educational institution, 
grade point average, and expected date of program completion.

II. Method of Collection

    The information is collected via NIST's on-line Student Information 
System.
