Astrophysics Science Division - Interns at GSFC
Did you know students can intern at GSFC?
High school, undergraduate, and graduate students may be eligible to intern at NASA centers, including GSFC with scientists in the Astrophysics Science Directorate. More information including available open opportunities can be found at https://intern.nasa.gov/.
Why do an internship?
Internships as a student are a great way to build experience outside of the classroom and learn what it is like in the world of scientific research. NASA interns apply to project opportunities with leading mentors, and will work one-on-one either virtually or in-person at GSFC to realize the research project. Interns receive a stipend for their work and to help with housing if working on-center.
When are internships?
