Internships for Students with Disabilities</a></span></b><span

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>NASA
is looking to increase the number of students with disabilities pursuing
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers through our
internship programs. NASA has a two-percent hiring goal for employment of
people with disabilities and internships are a good way to get experience.
Students can apply for summer 2014 internships right this very minute! The
deadline for submitting applications is Friday, March 14, 2014, and we will
begin extending offers to students as early as Monday, February 3, 2014. 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. 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/. However, students will not be able to see Summer 2014
opportunities until November 1. Summer 2014 internships run from early June
until early August for college students and from late June until early August
for high school students. All student interns get paid. For example, last
Summer, at Goddard college students received a stipend of $6000 and high school
students $1800. 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. 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 February 3, 2014. They will then have five days to either accept
or reject the offer through their OSSI: NIFS account. 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. Kenneth A. Silberman,
