Application Information
General Tips
Start with a document saved for assistance with a spelling and grammar check. Skills, etc. can then be updated as you move through the application process. Every opportunity is a separate “apply now” action, therefore, save time by having a prepared draft application with prepared text to copy and paste. Your profile can now be utilized in each opportunity so you only have to enter this information once.
- List all computer, technical, soft skills and experiences applicable to the opportunity
- List self-taught skills and hobbies
- Complete the “Why you want to be a NASA Intern” with a compelling argument. What can you bring to the table for NASA, what makes you unique?
- Upload buttons are available for all documents such as: 1. Most recent transcript, 2. Resume, 3. Letter/s of recommendation
- Don’t procrastinate deadlines, mentors do select early (It’s a competition for them too!)
- If you do not make it into the current session, keep trying, don’t give up.
