<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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
2018
now! The deadline for submitting applications will be Thursday, March 1,
2018.
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@freelists.org with 'subscribe'
in
the Subject field, OR by visiting the list page at
http://www.freelists.org/list/nasainterns.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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 December. They start
to
appear in numbers in January. You can register for an account anytime 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></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Internships run for ten
weeks
for undergraduate and graduate students. Internships run for six weeks for
high
school students. The exact starting and ending dates are not known
yet.
All student interns get paid. The 2018 stipend amounts are not known
yet. The high school stipend for Summer 2017 was $2,100.00 for a
six-week internship. The Summer 2017 undergraduate stipend for a ten-week
internship was $6,000.00. The Summer 2017 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 at
http://intern.nasa.gov/.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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 the online
application. 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></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">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></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p></o:p></SPAN> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Students who are selected
for
Summer internships will receive an offer letter by E-mail sometime after
mid-January 2018. They will then have five calendar days to either accept or
reject the offer through their account. The offer will automatically expire
after five calendar days if no action is taken. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
