The JPL Visiting Student Research Program offers research opportunities to students who have a compatible research interest with NASA or NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and have secured funding from third-party sponsors who are not associated with NASA or JPL funding sources.
As part of their fellowship, students are partnered with JPL scientists or engineers, who serve as the students’ mentors. Students complete designated projects outlined by their mentors and gain educational experience in their fields of study while contributing to NASA and JPL missions and science.
