<Forwarded message> Hello, My name is Debbie Murray and I am the Program Coordinator for the NASA Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars (LARSS) Program. The NASA LARSS Program is managed in partnership with NASA, the National Institute of Aerospace and the Virginia Space Grant Consortium. The LARSS Program is one of NASA's most prestigious and successful student research programs, having recently ranked among the top ten best internships in the nation. Designed to bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world experience, LARSS creates opportunities for students to come to NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, Virginia to conduct robust research and work on exciting projects while working side-by-side with NASA's finest scientists and engineers. LARSS is a year-round (3 sessions) paid, research internship program for undergraduate and graduate students that provides real research experiences in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as well as in business, communication, marketing, and other areas that support NASA's mission. Most majors accepted! The LARSS program hosts over 200 interns annually. I would like to ask that you share our information with your faculty and students so that they may have an opportunity to apply. The application is now up for our 2013 summer session with a deadline of Feb. 1, 2013. I have attached our recruitment flyer, which provides many of the program specifics. The website is http://www.nianet.org/larss. As indicated, the program is mostly STEM based with opportunities for special project areas in non-STEM disciplines as well. We invite all eligible students to apply and encourage female students, under-represented minorities, college students with disabilities, military veterans, first-generation college students, and students from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds to apply. Eligibility requirements include: US Citizenship Full-time status at an accredited US college or university Classification as a rising undergraduate junior, senior, or graduate student (Masters or doctoral level), by the start of the summer session Cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale We also have a LARSS Bridge component, which allows early application for rising high school seniors, undergraduate freshmen and sophomores to apply if they have a 3.5 GPA and previous NASA program experience. This experience can come from many areas including but not limited to any NASA OSSI-SOLAR Program, INSPIRE, SHARPE, VASTS, CHROME, NASA Governor's School, Space Camp, USRP, ACCESS, MUST, NASA Robotics, NASA Volunteer Services, and any documented time worked on a NASA grant/contract/cooperative agreement with a faculty member that equates to a minimum of 40 hours. I look forward to hearing from you and receiving applications from your students. Please let me know if you have any questions. My contact info is below.
