ASU/NASA Space Grant, USA

UNDERGRADUATE INTERN APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY NOON ON FRIDAY, MAY 10^TH, 2013

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:
The ASU/NASA Space Grant Program employs approximately 20-30 undergraduate students for the academic year working alongside upper-level graduate students, diverse faculty members, as well as scientists and engineers. Internships are for 10 hours per week at a rate of $9.00 per hour. We seek applications from science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)-related disciplines including fields in journalism, sustainability, media relations and education. We also encourage applications from women and underrepresented groups.
Space Grant supports undergraduates by giving them opportunities to earn money while gaining valuable experience participating in research projects and educational outreach activities. The program also provides excellent opportunities for non-science majors to broaden their education.

REQUIREMENTS TO APPLY:
-          All applicants must be U.S. citizens.
-          All applicants must be full-time students, sophomore or higher.

Students are highly encouraged to have a faculty mentor selected prior to submitting an application.  If you’re an applicant that isn’t currently working with anyone, you can try these suggestions on how to find one. Mentors must also submit an application and request you as a prospective student intern.
The Space Grant Steering Committee reviews intern and mentor applications and make award selections before fall semester begins.  The Steering Committee matches interns to mentors. For maximum stability, please identify a mentor and project before applying. As stated above, it assists the Steering Committee if you have a faculty mentor, but for students who are awarded with no mentors, the Steering Committee will make the best possible match. Both projects and students are selected by the Steering Committee for appropriateness to the program and to achieve overall program balance.

IN ADDITION THEIR INTERNSHIP PROJECT, INTERNS ARE REQUIRED TO:
-          Complete 15 hours of (unpaid) Informal Education fall semester and 5 hours spring semester. Examples of Informal Education can be found here.
-          Participate in the annual ASU/NASA Space Grant poster session typically held in February.
-          Present at the Arizona Space Grant Consortium Undergraduate Research Symposium typically held in April.
