Student Internships at NASA Ames Research Center

- Education Associates Program (EAP)
The Cooperative Space Grant Education Program, sponsored by NASA Ames and developed by the University of California Extension, Santa Cruz links students and faculty with projects at NASA Ames Research Center. Students and faculty members, from undergraduate to post doctoral level, at any accredited U.S. university, may participate as Education Associates (EAs). EAs must be either U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens. The most relevant backgrounds are in the fields of engineering, information systems and communications, space science, physical sciences, life sciences, behavioral sciences, and mathematics.


– Foothill-De Anza Community College District NASA/Ames Internship Program
The Foothill-DeAnza NASA/Ames Internship Program is a partnership between NASA/Ames Research Center and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District placing community college students in one-year internships at NASA/Ames. These internship positions provide paid work experience for students planning to transfer to four-year universities, students new to or preparing for the work world, and students making a career change or reentering the labor market.


– NASA Scholars
The NASA Scholars Program works under the umbrella of the Minority University Research and Education Programs (MUREP) in the Equal Opportunity Programs Office. The program works specifically with minority undergraduate students from all over the U.S. whose fields of study are in mathematics, science, engineering, and technology disciplines. Students are paired with a NASA professional for a ten week summer internship beginning in early June. The purpose of the program is for the students to conduct research alongside NASA professionals either in projects that the mentors are conducting directly or in sub-projects that support the greater project that the mentors are conducting.


– Undergraduate Student Research Program
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Undergraduate Student Research Program (NASA-USRP) offers undergraduates across the United States mentoring research opportunities at the NASA Centers. The NASA-USRP seeks applications from undergraduates enrolled full-time in an accredited U.S. college or university. Applicants must be juniors or seniors. Eligible fields of study are academic major or demonstrated coursework concentration in engineering, mathematics, computer science or physical/life sciences.
