The United States NASA Academy
http://www.nasa-academy.nasa.gov
Student Internship Program -- Undergraduate-Graduate
NASA's Charter gives it the main role of using and exploring space for the benefit of humankind. The success of the space program results from the interaction of government, academia, and the private sector, each playing a critical and different role. Responsibilities overlap, leaders migrate from one sector to another, and interdependence changes with each new administration. The NASA Academy is a unique institute of higher learning whose goal is to help guide future leaders of our space program by giving them a glimpse of how this system works.
The intent of this program is to give the selected students a working knowledge of NASA and its programs. The Academy accomplishes this through interactive sessions with leaders within government, industry, and academia and research in NASA's laboratories. The students will discover how NASA and its Field Centers operate, understand the NASA link to the private sector, gain experience in world-class laboratories, participate in a team environment where people work together to accomplish common goals, and build professional bonds among our future leaders.
The NASA Academy was initially started in 1993 at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). NASA Academies are currently active at the Goddard Space Flight Center and the Ames Research Center (ARC).
Student eligibility requirements include:
* a demonstrated interest in the space program;
* enrollment (as of June 1 of the program year ) as a junior, senior, or early graduate student;
* a minimum B average;
* a major in science (physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, computer science, or other area of interest to the space program); and
* citizenship or permanent residence (as of June 1 of the program year).
The NASA Academy Program is co-sponsored by the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, which provides students with stipends between $3,000 and $4,000 for the summer. Housing, meals and local transportation are paid for by the participating NASA Center. The deadline for filing applications for the 2002 NASA Academy is January 31, 2002.
