The deadline is February 1, 2014. I have also attached a flyer to be shared as well. Thank you so much! Debbie Murray NASA LARSS Program Coordinator NASA Langley Aerospace Research Student Scholars (LARSS) Program h<http://forestbioproducts.umaine.edu/upcoming-events/reu/>ttp://www.nianet.org/larss The LARSS program is a partnership between NASA, the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), and the Virginia Space Grant Consortium as a sub-award to the NIA. The Langley Aerospace Research Student Scholars (LARSS) Program is a paid, Center-unique, and highly competitive research internship program for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) held onsite at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA. Special project areas such as business, education, photography, history, finance, accounting and other areas are also accepted for consideration. Recruitment is ongoing for the 10-week summer session with a deadline of February 1, 2014. The 10 week period is 6/2 - 8/08/2014 . The NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is an "ecosystem" for innovation, problem solving, and creativity. Since 1917, LaRC engineers and scientists have undertaken award-winning research and development efforts to pioneer (1) the future of flight (including entry, descent, and landing) in all atmospheres; (2) the characterization of all atmospheres; (3) space exploration systems and technology; and (4) materials concepts, analysis, and integration. LaRC researchers are also engaged in innovative challenges including atomistic materials; Earth systems science; affordable, safe, and sustainable space exploration; and "green aviation". For almost 28 years, the LARSS program has helped to preserve U.S. leadership in engineering and science by providing exceptional students the opportunity to work with Langley researchers on some of the Nation's most important, difficult, and challenging problems that require multi-disciplinary and collaborative solutions. LARSS is a year-round research internship program with 3 sessions - fall and spring (15 weeks) and summer (10 weeks). Eligibiity Requirements: * US citizenship * Full-time student status at an accredited US college or university * 3.0/4.0 scale * Rising college junior and above Female students and under-represented minorities, college students with disabilities, military veterans, first-generation college students, and students from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
