The Ohio Aerospace Internship Program
The Ohio Aerospace Internship Program is a new program created in response to Ohio’s Third Frontier Internship Program Opportunity. The Program’s focus is on Ohio. Participating students, therefore, are Ohio residents who attend Ohio academic institutions and meet the required qualifications of the Third Frontier Internship Program. These individuals are matched with Ohio-located internship opportunities. The Program’s focus is also exclusively on aerospace; participating companies providing internship opportunities pursue aerospace-related enterprises in the State of Ohio.

NASA Academy
The NASA Academy is a unique summer experience at the university level for developing future leaders of the U. S. Space Program. The program is an intensive, resident, 10-week summer experience(June through August) with laboratory research work, a group project, lectures, meetings with experts and administrators, visits to NASA Centers and space-related industries, technical writing, and presentations. Students discover how NASA and its Centers operate, gain experience in world-class laboratories, participate in a team environment and build professional bonds. Upon graduation, Academy participants are inducted into the NASA Academy Alumni Association (NAAA) whose goal is to promote NASA, the NASA Academy, research, and space education.

The NASA Academy is co-sponsored by the participating NASA Centers and the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program.

Eligibility
Rising junior, senior undergraduate or at the early graduate level in accredited U. S. college or university as of May of the program year; B average (minimum); major in engineering, science (physics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, etc.), math, computer science or other areas of interest to the aerospace program; U. S. citizenship.

Locations
Ames Research Center, Glenn Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and Marshall Space Flight Center

Students may apply to the NASA Academy by using the Office of Higher Education Online Application.

NASA Undergraduate Student Research Program (USRP)

NASA/USRP OFFERS SPRING SESSION AT NASA CENTERS!
RISING SOPHOMORES ARE NOW ELIGIBLE!
STIPENDS INCREASED!

NASA is seeking undergraduate students (rising sophomores (new this year), juniors and seniors) from diverse communities who are interested in a challenging research experience at a NASA Center. Aligned with NASA's research and development mission, USRP provides students with a technical mentor and excellent hands-on experience.

USRP will be offering a new, 15-week spring session in addition to the usual 10-week summer and 15-week fall sessions for 2008. The deadline to apply for the spring session is October 22, 2007.

In 2008, students will receive a $9,000 stipend for the 15-week spring and fall sessions, and $6,000 for the 10-week summer session. A round-trip travel allowance is also provided for students. The new 2008 stipend amounts represent a 20 percent increase over the 2007 figures.

At the completion of the research session, students must submit a paper on their NASA-USRP research experience. Students may also be asked to discuss their research in public forums and/or participate in NASA-sponsored colloquia, workshops, and technology demonstrations. The USRP program seeks to extend and strengthen NASA's commitment to educational excellence and university research-assist teams whose experiments are selected by NASA through its mini-grant program.

Eligibility
Students must meet the following eligibility requirements to participate in NASA's Undergraduate Student Research Program.

• U. S. Citizenship
• Classified as a rising sophomore, rising junior, or rising senior
