Since some folks on this list are students, I thought it worthwhile to forward
this announcement.

Subject: [Promotion-technology] Announcement: NASA Internship Opportunitiesfor
Summer 2011
NASA is looking to increase the number of blind and disabled students, pursuing
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers through our
internship programs. We have a two-percent hiring goal. Students can apply
between November 1 and February 1. They can register for an account and look
for internships anytime at <http://intern.nasa.gov/>. Internships run for ten
weeks from May 31, 2011, through August 5, 2011.
In order to be eligible to apply, students must be accepted as freshmen at an
accredited institution of higher learning, i.e., a college or university at the
time of the internship. This is what we call a rising freshman. NASA has
internships for rising freshmen through doctoral students in STEM fields. A
minimum GPA of 2.8 is required to apply; however, applicants must understand
that the competition for internships is keen. The age limits for interns are
eighteen years and up.
Internships are available at all NASA centers nationwide. Students can select a
particular center by applying for a project or projects at said center. For
example, a project having to do with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will
be at Goddard in Maryland because SDO is here. If students simply apply without
choosing any projects, their applications will be available for mentors to view
at all NASA centers nationally. However, not applying to any projects may
result in no mentors even looking at their applications because they will not
have asked anyone to by not specifying specific internships.
Please feel free to contact me for more information or help with applying.
