NASA Internship Opportunities


Students: There is still time to apply for NASA internships. You have a very high chance of getting accepted to do amazing work and get paid for it. Let a staff member at SDI know you are interested or contact AIHEC representative Alex Grandon at agrandon@aihec.org . Here is what happened at Grandon’s presentation last Thursday:
“Last Thursday, AIHEC (American Indian Higher Education Consortium) representative Alex Grandon presented to students NASA internship opportunity information.  Alex said: “You get the chance to learn something with leading scientists and it’s a wonderful adventure.”  He stated that there are only three criteria all applicants needed to meet. These are:
  1.    Be enrolled as full-time student in a Tribal College
  2.    Have a 2.8 GPA
  3.    Be a US citizen
If students meet these three criteria, they are eligible for amazing opportunities and are urged to apply as soon as possible. Everything is paid, including travel expenses, food, and housing, and a stipend of $500 is offered every two weeks. Grandon noted that students of all interests, experiences, and fields of study should apply. “We need everyone to make NASA work,” commented Grandon, “We need nurses, office workers… everybody.”
For all the information on the NASA internships, visit intern.nasa.gov.
Once there, you may read through a few pages for an overview of NASA internships. Click on student opportunities, and then SOLAR.  (For a shortcut to reach this page, click here.)
The tabs across the top of the solar webpage will allow you to register as a new student and search through internship opportunities. By taking the two minutes to register, Grandon will have your information. If you have questions, or need assistance filling out the forms, do not hesitate to contact SDI (Sustainable Development Institute) or Alex Grandon, AIHEC representative.
