The University of Arizona NASA Space Grant Internship Program is an opportunity to challenge yourself, learn new skills, and receive hands-on training in an exciting STEM field!
Can you imagine yourself working with a faculty mentor to develop an autonomous vehicle that will explore caves on Mars? What about studying the effects of zero-gravity on muscles and other organ systems; studying the effects of climate change on planet Earth; or even devising a system for mining fuel from a Martial atmosphere?
Imagine no more. The University of Arizona NASA Space Grant Internship Program places U of A undergraduate students in paid ($16.50/hour) research opportunities for up to 20 hours per week during the academic year. Students work alongside practicing scientists on exciting cutting-edge research. We seek a diverse group of students that are dedicated, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. You do not need to be a rocket scientist to participate in this NASA program – all STEM majors and those interested in STEM are welcome!
Eligibility:
- U.S. Citizenship or naturalized U.S. citizenship per NASA (federal) funding requirements.
- Cumulative 2.5 GPA minimum.
- Enrolled in 9 units or more at the University of Arizona during the Fall and Spring semester of the award year.
- Undergraduate Sophomore, Junior, or Senior academic standing at the start of the award year.
- Enrolled in any STEM major, or has an interest in pursuing a STEM career.
- Prior research experience is not required, nor is it required to have a mentor at the time of application.
