NASA Headquarters Internships: A Unique Opportunity for STEM Students

As a student interested in research, aerospace education, and space exploration, you may be thrilled to learn about the internship opportunities available at NASA's headquarters. The agency has developed a single system for recruitment, application, selection, and career development of undergraduate and graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.

The deadline to apply is Monday, August 16, 2021, and this special opportunity is only open to DC university students through the DC Space Grant Consortium. Two students will be selected for this unique chance to work at NASA's headquarters.

Graduate students will receive a stipend of $14,400, while undergraduate students will receive $11,680. The internship requires a total of 400 hours over the Fall 2021 semester, with an average of 25 hours per week for 16 weeks. There is flexibility to accommodate your academic schedule, but all work must be completed between September and December 31, 2021.

To be eligible, students must major or minor in a STEM or Science/Space Policy discipline, have a minimum GPA of 3.2, and be currently enrolled at a university in the District of Columbia.

As an intern, you will have the opportunity to learn as much as possible while contributing to NASA's mission. You will develop outreach materials, arrange virtual school visits and talks, and help respond to changing expectations in Martian exploration. You will also integrate collaborations with subject matter experts from across NASA, industry, and academia.

The internship is perfect for students who are driven team players with strong writing and organizational skills, interested in the robotic and human exploration of Mars. The District of Columbia Space Grant Consortium is pleased to announce two paid online (virtual) internship positions at the Mars Exploration Program office of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.

Don't miss this chance to be part of NASA's journey to Mars and develop your skills while contributing to the agency's mission. Apply now and take your first step towards a rewarding career in STEM.
