Internships
NASA One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI)
The NASA One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI) 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 (STEM) disciplines. Opportunities for students in other disciplines are also available. Students have the ability to search and apply for all types of NASA internship, fellowship, or scholarship opportunities in one system. A single internship or fellowship application places students in the applicant pool for consideration by mentors for all NASA internships or fellowships.

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.
