NASA is offering paid internship and fellowship opportunities in the United States for students and researchers at multiple levels, including bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, and postdoctoral stages. The post highlights opportunities connected to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with research and training in aerospace engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, physics, astronomy, Earth science, climate science, mechanical engineering, data science, satellite technology, space exploration technologies, and related STEM areas.

These opportunities are designed for applicants who want hands-on experience working with NASA scientists, engineers, and professionals on real-world projects. The post notes that internships and fellowships may be available across NASA centers such as JPL, Kennedy Space Center, Johnson Space Center, and Goddard Space Flight Center, with some international pathways available through partner agencies.

Funding is described as paid, with possible support including stipend or salary, travel allowance or reimbursement, research support, tuition assistance for selected programs, professional development support, and health insurance support in some fellowships. The exact package depends on the specific program and academic level.

Eligibility varies by track. The post mentions U.S. citizen requirements for some programs, permanent residents and international students for others, strong academic standing, enrollment in an accredited institution, and STEM-related study. For some U.S. internships, a minimum GPA and other conditions such as half-time enrollment or work-hour requirements may apply. International applicants may need to apply through designated national partner organizations.

Applications are handled through the official NASA internship portal or through partner agencies for international applicants. The deadline is not fixed and varies by individual opportunity, so applicants are encouraged to check each listing carefully and apply early.
