Attention Arizona Undergraduate Students:

Apply for our Space Industry Internship Program!

The Space Industry Internship Program, part of the Arizona Space Grant Consortium, offers an exceptional opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in Arizona’s growing space sector. This NASA-funded program connects undergraduate students with small to mid-sized companies in the space industry, where they can apply their academic knowledge to real-world challenges while developing practical skills essential for their future careers.

Interns are placed in positions aligned with their field of study and career interests, allowing them to engage in meaningful, project-based work that brings their education to life. Participants gain valuable insight into what it’s like to work in the space industry, all while expanding their professional networks and building technical and workplace competencies.

Interns must be full-time undergraduate students at one of our affiliated Arizona institutions. Interns will work 10 hours per week at their designated industry site, and will receive $20 per hour paid in monthly stipends of $1,000. The internship runs during the Fall 2026 semester, with the option to extend through Spring 2027, subject to industry approval. 

We are committed to supporting a diverse cohort of students who are dedicated, curious, and ready to contribute—no aerospace background required. Students from all STEM disciplines and those with a strong interest in STEM are encouraged to apply.

This program is more than an internship—it’s a launchpad. Interns selected for this award will join a dynamic community, gain mentorship, receive hands-on training, and make meaningful contributions to Arizona’s space workforce.

Ready for the challenge?
Apply during the next open application cycle and take the first step toward your future in the space industry.
