Visit nasa.gov/career/pathways to learn more!

1. Be a U.S. citizen or national
2. Be at least 16 years of age at the time of appointment
3. Be a degree or certificate seeking student who is currently enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an accredited educational institution on at least a half time basis as defined by the institution
4. Have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.9 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent)
5. Be able to work a minimum of 640 hours before graduation

For all of our Pathways Internship positions, you must meet all of the following requirements:
Your transcript should list the school's name, student's name, degree program, major, GPA, college courses, course title, and number of credit hours completed.

If your college transcript does not list all of this information, you must provide supplemental documentation from your educational institution that specifies the information missing from your transcript.

If you have been accepted for enrollment into a degree program but have not yet begun coursework, you will need to provide an Acceptance Letter from the Institution AND your most recent transcript. The letter should provide some indication of what degree program and major you are accepted.

Since eligibility determinations are made based on your education, it is important that you include sufficient information. We do not make assumptions, nor will we allow additional documentation to be submitted after the fact.
