> NASA is looking to increase the number of students with disabilities
> pursuing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers through
> our regular internship programs. This is not a program for students with
> disabilities.  We are trying to recruit more students with disabilities into
> our regular internship programs. Disability means both physical and mental
> disabilities. NASA has a two-percent hiring goal for employment of people
> with disabilities and internships are a good way to get experience. However,
> this is not an employment program. NASA jobs can be found at
> <http://www.usajobs.gov>. Students can apply for Summer 2017 internships on
> or about November 10, 2016. The deadline for submitting applications will be
> on or about March 1, 2017. We will begin extending offers to students in
> mid-to-late January and will continue until all positions are filled. If you
> would like to subscribe to an announcement-only list about NASA internships
> for persons with disabilities, please send an E-mail to
> nasainterns-request at freelists.org <mailto:nasainterns-request at freelists.org>
> with 'subscribe' in the Subject field, OR by visiting the list page at

> We encourage you to apply early because the best opportunities are likely to
> be filled early. Plus, your likelihood of being selected decreases the
> longer you wait. Don't be surprised if you don't see many internship
> opportunities in November.  They start to appear in numbers in mid-to-late
> December. You can register for an account anytime at the One Stop Shopping
> Initiative (OSSI): NASA Internships, Fellowships, and Scholarships (NIFS) at
> http://intern.nasa.gov/. All material that you wish to have considered must
> be uploaded to the OSSI website. No documentation will be accepted that is
> E-mailed or snail mailed.

> Summer 2017 internships run from early June through early August for
> undergraduate and graduate students. Internships run from late June through
> early August for high school students. All student interns get paid. The
> high school stipend for Summer 2016 was $2,100.00 for a six-week internship.
> The Summer 2016 undergraduate stipend for a ten-week internship was
> $6,000.00. The Summer 2016 graduate stipend for a ten-week internship was
> $7,500.00. As an intern, you are responsible for your own housing. NASA
> internships for college and high school students are also offered during
> Spring, Fall and Year Long Sessions through the OSSI website.
> 
> 
> 
> NASA has internships for high school students and for rising freshmen
> through doctoral students in STEM fields. A rising freshman is a high school
> student who has been accepted to an accredited institution of higher
> learning, i.e., a college or university, at the time of the internship.
> 
> Applicants must be U.S. citizens, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 for college and
> 3.0 for high school; however, applicants must understand that the
> competition for internships is keen. High school students must be at least
> sixteen years old at the time the internship begins.
> 
> 
> 
> Internships are available at all NASA centers nationwide. It is important to
> remember that applying is a two-step process. The first step is to fill out
> everything in OSSI.  The second step is to select and apply to specific
> internship opportunities. Students can submit a completed application
> whether they apply to an opportunity or not. However, applying to
> opportunities has the advantage of allowing applicants to be considered by
> mentors who work in disciplines of interest and at a particular center.
> Applicants may apply to as many as fifteen opportunities.
> 
> 
> 
> For example, an opportunity having to do with the Solar Dynamics Observatory
> (SDO) will be at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland because SDO is
> located there. Not applying to an opportunity 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 Summer internships will receive an offer
> letter by E-mail sometime after mid-January 2017. They will then have five
> calendar days to either accept or reject the offer through their OSSI: NIFS
> account. The offer will automatically expire after five calendar days if no
> action is taken.
