Intern at NASA

Undergraduate and graduate students can apply for EAP-related internships throughout the year via two types of experiences.

NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) internships provide students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience while working on NASA projects. NASA’s Pathways internships provide students with work experience along with direct access to full-time employment upon graduation.
