The JPL Summer Internship Program (JPLSIP) provides funding for undergraduate and graduate students undertaking summer internships at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Caltech’s Student-Faculty Programs office provides administrative support. The program is part of JPL’s internship offerings, managed by its Academic Engagement Office, which provides opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
JPLSIP connects laboratory-based summer internships with Caltech’s student research community. Once admitted, students may apply to live on the Caltech campus and join a large community of undergraduate researchers. Students apply directly to the internship program through JPL’s internship information and application resources.
