Students Eligible For Paid NASA Internships
NASA has selected 100 full-time undergraduate students to
receive a one-year college scholarship. NASA's Motivating
Undergraduates in Science and Technology, or MUST, project awards
scholarships and internships to students pursuing degrees in
science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM,
fields.
"Education projects such as MUST seek to inspire and equip
diverse students who are underrepresented in STEM disciplines to
pursue a career at NASA," said Joyce Winterton, assistant
administrator for Education at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
MUST is open to all undergraduates and is particularly focused on
engaging students from underserved and underrepresented groups to
enter STEM fields.
As part of the program, students benefit from year-round
tutoring and professional development training, attendance at
lecture series, and mentoring from science, technology, engineering
and math faculty and peers. Scholarship recipients who maintain the
required minimum grade point average also are eligible for a paid
internship at a NASA center.
This program and the agency's other college and university
programs support NASA's goal of investing in students to develop
the skills and capabilities critical to creating a strong workforce
for NASA and the nation.
The MUST project is managed at NASA's Glenn Research Center in
Cleveland and administered by a consortium of the Hispanic College
Fund, the United Negro College Fund Special Programs and the
Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers.
