The New York Space Grant (NYSG) Consortium supports undergraduate research opportunities in space-related fields with various programs. Each year, undergraduates have the opportunity to participate in research during the summer and/or throughout the year in on-going projects sponsored by NASA
Under the guidance of leading experts
in their fields, undergraduates conduct research in a variety of
science and engineering disciplines. The following programs are accepting applications:
- Internships at NASA centers
- NASA Academy Summer Programs
- NASA Langley Aerospace Research Summer Scholars Program
- NASA Intern and Fellow Opportunities for International Students [funded by NASA]
- NASA Student Airborne Research Program [funded by NASA]
- NASA Education Associates Program [funded by NASA]
- LPI Summer Intern Program in Planetary Science [funded by NASA]
- Lewis' Educational and Research Collaborative Internship Program (LERCIP) [funded by NASA GRC and Ohio Aerospace Inst.]
- Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) summer program [funded by STScI -- open to US & other students]
- REU in Observational Astronomy at Cornell University [funded by the National Science Foundation]
- Search for Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) [funded by the National Science Foundation]
- Opportunities at the National Center for Atmospheric Research [funded by Univ Corp for Atmospheric Research]
- IBP's Pathways to Science searchable database
- Motivating Undergraduates in Science and Technology (MUST) Project
- NASA Aeronautics Scholarship Program for Undergraduates
Internships at NASA centers
The One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI): Student Online Application for Recruiting Interns, Fellows, and Scholar (SOLAR) is "a NASA-wide system for the recruitment, application, selection and career development of undergraduate and graduate students primarily in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. Opportunities for students in other disciplines are available." Using the SOLAR web site, a student can search and apply for multiple NASA opportunities using a single application.
Eligibility:
The New York Space Grant Consortium is one of the many organizations that anticipates funding undergraduate students for NASA summer 2013 internships.
To be eligible for NY Space Grant funding, a full-time student must (1) be a United States citizen, and (2) be a New York state resident or attend
a New York college/university, and (3) be majoring in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) discipline.
Additional eligibility requirements exist for each specific internship opportunity. Females and students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.

Deadline:
March 15, 2013 is the deadline for submitting summer 2013 applications through SOLAR. However,
students are strongly encouraged to complete applications ASAP, as internship offers may be extended as early
as February 2013.
NASA Academy Summer Programs
NASA Academy is an intense summer experience for undergraduate and graduate students to hone their leadership and technical skills in science and engineering. Besides conducting individual research and group projects, Academy students attend seminars and travel to various site visits.
Multiple NASA Academies will be held at Ames Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, Glenn Research Center, Langley Research Center, and Marshall Space Flight Center.
Eligibility:
The New York Space Grant Consortium is one of the many organizations that anticipates funding students for NASA Academy summer 2013 positions.
To be eligible for NY Space Grant funding, a full-time student must (1) be a United States citizen, and (2) be a New York state resident or attend
a New York college/university, and (3) be majoring in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, or math) discipline.
Additional eligibility requirements exist for each specific internship opportunity. Females and students from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply.
