General Information
NASA’s internship programs provide training, mentoring, and career development opportunities while working with the best science, engineering, financial, information technology and business minds in the world. They offer several different internship experiences:
- NASA Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) Internship- Paid opportunity that allows high school and college-level students to contribute to agency projects under the guidance of a NASA mentor.
- International Internship- NASA International Internship (NASA I²) seeks to better prepare students to work in a global environment and on multicultural international missions. NASA and the nation benefit from a cadre of future scientists, engineers and other professionals who become familiar and experienced in multinational environments. Internship sessions are arranged in three sessions during the calendar year (spring, summer and fall).
- Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Internship- An internship at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a chance to do the impossible. This internship put you right in the action with the scientists and engineers who’ve helped make JPL the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system. These programs are as varied as the places that are explored, with opportunities across the STEM spectrum for undergrads, graduate students, postdocs and faculty.
- Pathways Internship- NASA’s work-study (co-op) program is a starting point to a career at NASA. Pathways interns gain valuable work experience and professional development. Paid federal civil servant opportunities with benefits are offered across most NASA facilities. Completion of the Pathways program may lead to a NASA job offer.
