>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
>submit applications where they either select or do not select an
>opportunity or opportunities. Selecting an opportunity or opportunities
>has the advantage of allowing applicants to be considered by mentors who
>work in disciplines of interest and at a particular center. For example,
>an opportunity having to do with the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) will
>be at Goddard in Maryland because SDO is here. Not selecting any
>opportunities may result in no mentors even looking at their applications
>because they will not have flagged their applications to mentors'
>opportunities. It's important to make clear that applications can be
>viewed by all mentors whether students select opportunities or not.
>However, not selecting any opportunities means that prospective interns
>will be hoping that a mentor happens to read their applications rather
>than directing their applications to mentors in fields and at centers of
>interest.
>
>Students, who are selected for internships, will receive an offer letter
>by E-mail sometime after February 2, 2011. They will then have five days
>to either accept or reject the offer on the website. The offer will
>automatically expire after five days if no action is taken.
>
>Please feel free to contact me for more information or help with applying.
