NASA International Year of Astronomy Student Ambassadors ProgramNASA International Year of Astronomy (IYA) Student Ambassadors Program is intended to encourage student participation in NASA’s IYA activities and to help generate excitement about NASA's scientific discoveries in astrophysics, planetary science and solar physics. Student ambassadors will serve as role models to others in their communities. Quick facts:
For more details and the online application, see the prorgram website: Program is administered by the National Space Grant Foundation. For more information on IYA, see http://astronomy2009.nasa.gov/ and http://www.astronomy2009.us/. The New York Space Grant Program supports undergraduate research opportunities in space-related fields with various programs. Each year, undergraduates have the opportunity to participate in research during the summer and/or throughout the year in on-going projects sponsored by NASA. Summer internships and programs are offered at Cornell and other institutions including Barnard College, Clarkson University, Colgate University, Columbia University, and Syracuse University. Under the guidance of leading experts
in their fields, undergraduates conduct research in a variety of
science and engineering disciplines. The following programs are accepting applications
for summer 2008 opportunities (click links below to view
more detailed information):
Summer internships at NASA centersThe New York Space Grant Consortium will provide $5,000 stipends and $1,000 travel/relocation allowances for 10-week undergraduate student internships at the following NASA centers:
