NASA Student Research Internship

The 2025 Submission Window is now Closed

Want to get paid $1000 to do a STEM-related research project and present your ideas at a student symposium?

SLCC’s School of Science, Math and Engineering has been a member of the Utah NASA Space Grant Consortium since 2002. We receive an annual NASA grant to fund student research projects, and the opportunity to present alongside undergraduate peers in a state-wide annual student symposium.

If you’re interested in applying to participate in a mentored project, please contact Lane Law ( NASAinternship@slcc.edu) by October 3rd with your name, s-number, email address, and research idea (1-2 sentences). Don’t worry if you haven’t fully thought out your research question yet; we will pair you with a faculty member who will help mentor you throughout the research process. Any experimental equipment, reagents, and poster printing costs will be covered by the grant, and student participants will also receive a $1000 stipend per project. Students can work alone or in a group (the stipend will be split between team members if you are doing a group project). To receive the stipend, you must be a U.S. citizen, and you must present your poster or paper in the May 5th Utah NASA Space Grant Consortium Symposium. Every year, the symposium is held on a different Utah campus; this year, it will be held at Utah Valley University in Orem.
