NASA Internships

Caden Knutsvig (Summer 2023 NASA Intern)

Caden Knutsvig (Summer 2023 NASA Intern at NASA Langley Research Center)

NASA internships allow college students of all majors the opportunity to complete a research project under the guidance of a mentor at any of the NASA centers. To be considered for NDSGC funding students must complete the NDSGC application in addition to the NASA internship application. Upon assessment of the NDSGC NASA Internship application, the NDSGC will reach out to NASA centers to advocate for you (this does not guarantee an internship). The NDGSC only advocates for summer internships; students are still encouraged to apply for fall and spring internships. Students may pursue NASA internships independently of the NDSGC. NASA internships span 10 weeks in the summer and 16 weeks in the fall/spring semesters. Part-time and/or virtual positions may be available. Students are responsible for securing any travel and/or housing needs related to their internship.

How to Apply

Step 1: Apply with NASA

Step 2: Apply with NDSGC

  1. Create an account with NASA; you can apply to multiple internship positions (up to 15) using your one account
  2. Create an NDSGC Submittable account and apply for NDSGC funding; you will be able to inform us of your top choices in a fillable table
    • While you wait, periodically check your NASA application and see if your top choices have been filled; if they have, you can request to edit your Submittable application and keep your top choices up-to-date
    • If you are contacted by NASA or receive an internship independently from our efforts, please let us know so we can open another potential seat to another North Dakota student

Please reference the application preview and informational video for more details. Contact the NDSGC team with questions.
