If you are a high school or college student and have always wanted to work on a human landing system, Mars mission architecture integration, or even crater navigation, then NASA has a place for you. In fact, NASA has published 100 areas where interns and fellows are needed, with many of them being paid positions. You can find the list and start the application process here.
If any of these areas sound like fun, you still have until April 12 to submit an application for an internship or fellowship. And don’t worry. You do not need to be an engineering student or even interested in engineering. NASA has stated,
A common misconception is that NASA only offers engineering internships. Please know that we have opportunities for students who are not majoring in engineering. NASA needs employees with a variety of knowledge and skills. At NASA, our engineers, mathematicians, scientists, accountants, writers, IT specialists, project managers, program analysts, and many other professionals work together to break barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible. Non-engineering interns may support a variety of business and program management work, including procurement, budgeting, accounting, information technology, and security.
For example, among the 100 openings you have assignments such as a NASA audio storytelling intern, an illustration/graphic design intern, and an Earth Information Center coordinator. NASA is a big organization with a variety of needs.
This is a great opportunity if you have any interest at all in a NASA career, or just want to have a unique experience.
