Announcements regarding the competition will be made through our listserv, social media, website, and affiliate institution point of contacts.

NASA Internships: NASA selects interns on a rolling basis. It is important to submit all application materials through the NASA Gateway system as soon as possible for the best opportunity for selection.
NASA is interested in the development of the future workforce for the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The NASA Nebraska Space Grant competitive fellowships are awarded to students with academic achievement and demonstrated interest in STEM careers. The fellowships require engagement in STEM fields, and therefore are not traditional scholarships. Students must propose a workforce development activity, research project, internship, or similar project for the fellowship. Click here for more information about students fellowships.
NASA Centers across the U.S. offer internships to work with NASA scientists. NASA Nebraska Space Grant works with the NASA Centers to identify highly qualified students for these opportunities. Click here for more information about NASA Internships.
These grants provide Nebraska faculty researchers with support for aerospace-related research to build ties with NASA scientists and conduct research important to NASA. The grants aim to elevate the aerospace-related research conducted in Nebraska for infrastructure building and workforce development opportunities.

NASA is interested in the development of the future aerospace workforce, especially underrepresented students and females. Higher Education Mini-Grants are available for innovative projects and programs that will recruit or develop students in aerospace-related fields at the college or university level, and encourage them to pursue careers in these fields after they graduate. Current projects include design challenge and competition teams, aerospace-related course development, and more. These grants are limited to projects for college and university students only.
