BY SOME OF THE LEADING MINDS
AND SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS
IN YOUR FIELD OF STUDY.
MAYBE YOU'LL FIND
YOURSELF WORKING ON
THE ORION SERVICE MODULE.

FUTURE AIRCRAFT, OR DEVELOPING
SPACE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS.
PERHAPS YOU'RE INTERESTED
IN CONTRIBUTING TO
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT,
SAFETY, TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER,
DATA ANALYTICS,
OR VIRTUAL REALITY PROGRAMMING.
OUR INTERNS ALSO PARTICIPATE
IN CONFERENCES AND A CAREER
SHOWCASE, WHERE YOU'LL LEARN

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
AND OPPORTUNITIES
ACROSS THE CENTER.
A MID-TERM PRESENTATION
OR A POSTER SESSION
ROUNDS OUT YOUR EXPERIENCE
AT NASA GLENN,
WHERE YOU'LL TELL US
WHAT YOU DID AND HOW IT'S
IMPACTING OUR FUTURE MISSIONS.
ULTIMATELY, WE HOPE YOU'LL LEAVE
NASA GLENN AT THE END OF
YOUR INTERNSHIP WITH

AND EXPERIENCES THAT WILL
CHALLENGE, INSPIRE, AND PROMOTE
PRACTICAL APPLICATION TO
EXPAND UPON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL

DID I MENTION YOU'LL BE PAID
DURING YOUR TIME AT NASA?
YES, PAID.
STIPEND AMOUNTS ARE BASED ON
ACADEMIC CLASSIFICATION
AND LENGTH OF INTERNSHIP.
SOME OF OUR INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS
OFFER A LIMITED, ONE-TIME
ROUND TRIP TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT
FOR ANYONE LIVING MORE THAN
50 MILES FROM NASA GLENN.
NASA GLENN WILL PROVIDE YOU
WITH A HOUSING AVAILABILITY LIST
BUT IT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE
WHAT HOUSING SITUATION
WORKS BEST FOR YOU.
OUR INTERNS ARE REQUIRED
TO CONFIRM THEIR OWN HOUSING,
AND ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR PAYING THE RENT.
WE ALSO OFFER A SOCIAL
MEDIA SITE WHERE INTERNS
CAN BEGIN TO COMMUNICATE
AND NETWORK WITH EACH OTHER
ABOUT HOUSING, TRAVEL
ARRANGEMENTS, EXPECTATIONS
AND THEIR EXCITEMENT.
AT NASA GLENN, YOU'LL HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
REAL CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS
ADVANCING NASA TECHNOLOGIES.
THIS EXPERIENCE IS ALSO MEANT
TO BE MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL.
NASA FACES CHALLENGES WITH
EVERY PROJECT AND MISSION,
AND WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR NEW CREATIVE WAYS TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS AND MOVE FORWARD.
YOU MAY SEE THINGS FROM
A DIFFERENT ANGLE, OR HAVE
A THOUGHT THAT OUR RESEARCHERS
HAVE NOT YET CONSIDERED.
YOUR VOICE COULD BE JUST
THE ONE WE NEED TO HEAR.
AND IT STARTS TODAY WITH
A NASA INTERNSHIP APPLICATION.

APPLICATION, SPECIFIC DEADLINES,

IN YOUR EDUCATION AND CAREERS.
