Overview: The University of Arizona NASA Space Grant undergraduate internship program is intended to provide a paid research experience for undergraduate students. Internship positions are meant to help students develop their professional/career interests and open the doors to scientific work. Space Grant internships provide mentored, research, research & development, science writing, science policy, or science education opportunities. Through this program, interns are able to explore career options and broaden their education with rich, hands-on work through the full process of inquiry and discovery.

Eligibility: Sophomores (at the start of the fall semester), juniors, and seniors from all STEM majors, or with future STEM goals and aspirations, at the University of Arizona enrolled in 9 units or more during the Fall and Spring semester of their internship year are eligible to apply. Applicants must be U.S. citizens per NASA federal funding guidelines. We seek a smart, motivated, and diverse group of students. Applications are especially encouraged from students traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Effective July 1, 2023: Space Grant interns are hired as University of Arizona student employees and are placed in various research positions. Student employees in a Security- or Safety-Sensitive position, or who disclose a felony conviction, will be subject to a fingerprint-based criminal record background check per University of Arizona HR policy.
