<P class=MsoNormal>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. Internships are a good way to get real-world 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
now! The deadline for submitting applications will be Wednesday, 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 <A
href="mailto:nasainterns-request@freelists.org">nasainterns-request@freelists.org</A>
with 'subscribe' in the Subject field, OR by visiting the list page at <A
href="http://www.freelists.org/list/nasainterns">http://www.freelists.org/list/nasainterns</A>.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">Summer 2017
internships run from Monday, June 5, 2017, through Friday, August 11, 2017, (ten
weeks) for undergraduate and graduate students. Internships run from Monday,
June 26, 2017, through Friday, August 4, 2017, (six weeks) for high school
students. All student interns get paid. The high school stipend for Summer 2017
will be $2,100.00 for a six-week internship. The Summer 2017 undergraduate
stipend for a ten-week internship will be $6,000.00. The Summer 2017 graduate
stipend for a ten-week internship will be $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.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p><FONT size=3 face=Calibri></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal"><o:p><FONT
size=3 face=Calibri></FONT></o:p> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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. <o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal">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.
