Subject: FYI: Announcement for Distribution: NASA Internship Opportunities
for Summer 2011

>
>NASA is looking to increase the number of blind and disabled students, 
>pursuing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers
through 
>our internship programs. We have a two-percent hiring goal. Students
can 
>apply between November 1 and February 1. They can register for an
account 
>and look for internships anytime at http://intern.nasa.gov/ .
Internships 
>run for ten weeks from May 31, 2011,  through August 5, 2011.
>
>In order to be eligible to apply, students must be accepted as freshmen
at 
>an accredited institution of higher learning, i.e., a college or 
>university at the time of the internship. This is what we call a rising

>freshman. NASA has internships for rising freshmen through doctoral 
>students in STEM fields. A minimum GPA of 2.8 is required to apply; 
>however, applicants must understand that the competition for
internships 
>is keen. The age limits for interns are eighteen years and up.
>
>Internships are available at all NASA centers nationwide. Students can 
>submit applications where they either select or do not select an 
>opportunity or opportunities. Selecting an opportunity or opportunities

>has the advantage of allowing applicants to be considered by mentors
who 
>work in disciplines of interest and at a particular center. For
example, 
>an opportunity having to do with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)
will 
>be at Goddard in Maryland because SDO is here. Not selecting any 
>opportunities may result in no mentors even looking at their
applications 
>because they will not have flagged their applications to mentors' 
>opportunities. It's important to make clear that applications can be 
>viewed by all mentors whether students select opportunities or not.
>However, not selecting any opportunities means that prospective interns

>will be hoping that a mentor happens to read their applications rather 
>than directing their applications to mentors in fields and at centers
of 
>interest.
>
>Students, who are selected for internships, will receive an offer
letter 
>by E-mail sometime after February 2, 2011. They will then have five
days 
>to either accept or reject the offer on the website. The offer will 
>automatically expire after five days if no action is taken.
>
>Please feel free to contact me for more information or help with
applying.
