As for why you haven't heard more interest yet, I have two ideas:
1) This is not the best time of year to recruit for summer internships - most companies have already hired their summer interns for this summer, and those interns have already started, and most companies have not yet started recruiting for next summer.
2) Large companies have an internal process that must be followed to recruit and hire anyone. They may also have concerns about not paying their interns directly. (That might change if they had detailed information from the DOE about this program.)
I will share this with my contacts at smaller companies who might be interested.

We are on the same page. My intention was to pilot this next summer. I typically hire 30 students every summer to work in our lab and make my selections in March. But when I can pay others nationally for free... That's enticing.
Thanks for the help.
