To Prospective NASA Student Interns with Disabilities,<br>
<br>
NASA is looking to increase the number of students with disabilities pursuing
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers through our
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. Students can apply for summer
2014 internships right this very minute! The deadline for submitting
applications is Saturday, March 1, 2014, and we will begin extending offers to
students as early as Thursday, January 16, 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 <a
href="http://intern.nasa.gov/">http://intern.nasa.gov/</a>. Summer 2014
internships run from Monday, June 2, 2014, until Friday, August 8, 2014, for
college students and from Monday, June 23, 2014, until Friday, August 1, 2014,
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.<br>
<br>
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. <i>High school students must be at least sixteen years old at the time
the internship begins. <br>
</i> <br>
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. <br>
<br>
Students who are selected for summer internships will receive an offer letter
by E-mail sometime after January 16, 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. <span
