NASA offers an Agency-wide college internship program that provides a 10-week summer and 16-week fall and spring paid internship opportunity for students pursuing degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM); and for students of non-STEM majors that lend support to the NASA mission. During their internship, students work at the NASA Glenn Research Center facilities under the guidance of mentors, while engaging in authentic NASA-related, mission-based R&D and career-related activities. The NASA Internship Program educational component allows students to attend and participate in a variety of planned activities from professional development workshops and the annual GRC Career Showcase. Additionally, the students present their final research results in a poster session to a broad audience and summarize their results in a final written report. NASA Internships provide hands-on practical experiences that challenge and inspire students. Thus, the program complements and expands on students’ classroom education and offers two sessions during the summer, beginning in early-to-mid June and concluding in mid-to-late August.
