NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program

NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is undertaking a new scholarship program focused on aeronautical research and related degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applications for both programs are due March 17, 2008.

Undergraduate Scholarships

Approximately 20 two-year undergraduate scholarships will be awarded annually to students (typically) entering their third year of education at a college or university. Students awarded scholarships under this program will be provided an internship opportunity at a NASA center where they will perform aeronautical research between their junior and senior years. The scholarship includes up to $15,000 for each school year and a stipend of up to $10,000 during the summer internship opportunity.

Graduate Scholarships

Each year ARMD will award approximately five two-year graduate scholarships, with a third-year option based on academic standing and programmatic requirements. Students awarded scholarships will have the opportunity to do two eight-to-10-week internships performing aeronautical research at a NASA center during the first two years they are enrolled in the program. The graduate scholarship includes up to $35,000 for each school year and a stipend of up to $10,000 during the summer internship opportunities.

Athletic Training Internships at Kennedy Space Center

The Kennedy Space Center RehabWorks Program offers athletic training internships to juniors, seniors and graduate students, with preference being given to undergraduates. This opportunity is a 40-hour-a-week internship that focuses on physical medicine and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Each student will be challenged with hands-on evaluations, rehabilitation design, educational outreach and injury prevention. The internships are part of the KSC Volunteer Services Program. Participants are not compensated.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens due to heightened security and extended requirements for security clearances. The application deadline for the summer 2008 semester is March 28, 2008.
