Program Description:
The
LARSS Program is one of NASA’s most prestigious and successful student
research programs, having recently ranked among the top ten best
internships in the nation. Designed to bridge the gap between academic
concepts and real-world experience, LARSS creates opportunities for
students to come to NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton,
Virginia to conduct robust research and work on exciting projects while
working side-by-side with NASA’s finest scientists and engineers.
LARSS
is a year-round (3 sessions) paid, research internship program for
undergraduate and graduate students that provides real research
experiences in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) as well as in business, communication, marketing, and
other areas that support NASA’s mission. Most majors accepted! The
LARSS program hosts over 200 interns annually.
The
website is http://www.nianet.org/larss. As indicated, the program is
mostly STEM based with opportunities for special project areas in
non-STEM disciplines as well.
We
invite all eligible students to apply and encourage female students,
under-represented minorities, college students with disabilities,
military veterans, first-generation college students, and students from
economically-disadvantaged backgrounds to apply.
Eligibility requirements include:
US Citizenship
Full-time status at an accredited US college or university
Classification
as a rising undergraduate junior, senior, or graduate student (Masters
or doctoral level), by the start of the summer session
Cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
We
also have a LARSS Bridge component, which allows early application for
rising high school seniors, undergraduate freshmen and sophomores to
apply if they have a 3.5 GPA and previous NASA program experience. This
experience can come from many areas including but not limited to any
NASA OSSI-SOLAR Program, INSPIRE, SHARPE, VASTS, CHROME, NASA Governor's
School, Space Camp, USRP, ACCESS, MUST, NASA Robotics, NASA Volunteer
Services, and any documented time worked on a NASA
grant/contract/cooperative agreement with a faculty member that equates
