NASA has a two-percent hiring goal for employment<br>of people with disabilities and internships are a good way to get<br>experience. Students can apply for summer 2014 internships right this very<br>minute! The deadline for submitting applications is Friday, March 14, 2014,<br>and we will begin extending offers to students as early as Monday, February<br>3, 2014. We encourage you to apply early because the best opportunities are<br>likely to be filled early. Plus, your likelihood of being selected<br>decreases the longer you wait. You can register for an account anytime at<br>the One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI): NASA Internships, Fellowships, and<br>Scholarships (NIFS) at <a href="http://intern.nasa.gov/" target="_blank"><font color="#0068cf">http://intern.nasa.gov/</font></a>. However, students will not<br>be able to see Summer 2014 opportunities until November 1. Summer 2014<br>internships run from early June until early August for college students and<br>from late June until early August for high school students. All student<br>interns get paid. For example, last Summer, at Goddard college students<br>received a stipend of $6000 and high school students $1800. As an intern,<br>you are responsible for your own housing. NASA internships for college and<br>high school students are also offered during Spring, Fall and Year Long<br>Sessions through the OSSI website. NASA has internships for high school<br>students and for rising freshmen through doctoral students in STEM fields.<br>A rising freshman is a high school student who has been accepted to an<br>accredited institution of higher learning, i.e., a college or university,<br>at the time of the internship. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, with a<br>minimum GPA of 3.0 for college and 3.0 for high school; however, applicants<br>must understand that the competition for internships is keen. High school<br>students must be at least sixteen years old at the time the internship<br>begins. Internships are available at all NASA centers nationwide. Students<br>can submit a completed application whether they apply to an opportunity or<br>not. However, applying to opportunities has the advantage of allowing<br>applicants to be considered by mentors who work in disciplines of interest<br>and at a particular center. Applicants may apply to as many as fifteen<br>opportunities. For example, an opportunity having to do with the Solar<br>Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will be at the Goddard Space Flight Center in<br>Maryland because SDO is located there. Not applying to an opportunity means<br>that prospective interns will be hoping that a mentor happens to read their<br>applications rather than directing their applications to mentors in fields<br>and at centers of interest. Students who are selected for summer<br>internships will receive an offer letter by E-mail sometime after February<br>3, 2014. They will then have five days to either accept or reject the offer<br>through their OSSI: NIFS account. The offer will automatically expire after<br>five days if no action is taken.
