Description
The Alaska Space Grant Program (ASGP) sponsors selected students participating in NASA summer internships. NASA selects interns through a competitive process, while ASGP provides sponsorship for selected participants. The opportunity supports participation in NASA’s internship experience rather than a separately proposed research project. NASA’s internship offerings primarily serve students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, with opportunities also available in other disciplines.
Interns work on agency projects under NASA mentors, developing technical skills, career readiness, and professional experience. NASA also offers leadership and professional development opportunities through its Academy and Internship programs. Undergraduate and graduate students can explore opportunities across NASA centers and apply for multiple internships through NASA’s application system.
