The Cooperative Space Grant Education Program, sponsored by NASA Ames and developed by the University of California Extension, Santa Cruz links students and faculty with projects at NASA Ames Research Center. Students and faculty members, from undergraduate to post doctoral level, at any accredited U.S. university, may participate as Education Associates (EAs). EAs must be either U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens. The most relevant backgrounds are in the fields of engineering, information systems and communications, space science, physical sciences, life sciences, behavioral sciences, and mathematics.
The Foothill-DeAnza NASA/Ames Internship Program Program is a partnership between NASA/Ames Research Center and the Foothill-De Anza Community College District placing community college students in one-year internships at NASA/Ames. These internship positions provide paid work experience for students planning to transfer to four-year universities, students new to or preparing for the work world, and students making a career change or reentering the labor market. Students continue to take courses while working 20 hours per week during the school year and 40 hours per week during the summer. United States citizenship is required for positions at NASA/Ames. Internship positions are available in a wide range of settings, and correspond to almost every college major. Student interns work directly with multimedia specialists, scientists, accountants, psychologists, engineers, administrators, programmers and other professionals as they carry out or support research related to aerospace, information sciences and technology, astrobiology and space research, project management and engineering. For more information contact (650) 604-5560.
The NASA Scholars Program works under the umbrella of the Minority University Research and Education Programs (MUREP) in the Higher Education Office. We work specifically with minority undergraduate students from all over the U.S. whose fields of study are in mathematics, science, engineering and technology disciplines. Students are paired with a NASA professional for a ten week summer internship beginning June 5,2005. The purpose of the program is for the students to conduct research alongside NASA professionals either in projects that the mentors are conducting directly or in sub-projects that support the greater project that the mentors are conducting. In order to become eligible for the NASA Scholars Summer Internship, college undergraduates must have applied and been accepted to a NASA affiliated program at a designated minority institution, maintain a 3.0 GPA and submit a resume and current transcripts to the program coordinator at Ames Research Center.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Undergraduate Student Research Program (NASA-USRP) is offering undergraduates across the United States mentored research experiences at the NASA Centers.
The NASA-USRP seeks applications from undergraduates enrolled full-time in an accredited U.S. college or university. Applicants must be rising juniors or seniors at the completion of the preceding Spring semester/quarter. Eligible fields of study are academic major or demonstrated coursework concentration in engineering, mathematics, computer science or physical/life sciences.
