NASA Academy
NASA Academy, NASA's
premier leadership training program, brings selected college students
to work on-site with NASA Center researchers, visit other NASA Centers and NASA
Headquarters, and meet aerospace business leaders. The 10-week sessions
are designed to build leadership skills and give the students a glimpse of
the aerospace industry as a whole. On graduation, Academy participants are inducted into the NASA Academy Alumni Association (NAAA) whose goal is to promote NASA, the NASA Academy, research, and space education.
Each January, Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium evaluates applications from students attending colleges and universities in
Washington state, and forwards them to the appropriate NASA centers. If
selected, nominees receive a $4,000 stipend, plus round-trip transportation.
The participating NASA field center will host the student, and will
provide housing, local transportation and meals.
