NASA EducationPrimary Objectives of OSSI
NASA’s HQ Office of Education seeks to implement an Agency-wide system to:
• Provide a single point-of-entry for students seeking NASA internships, fellowships and scholarships
• Enhance national branding of NASA’s internship/fellowship opportunities
• Increase participation of ALL types of Higher Education institutions to recruit and assist students in applying for internships/fellowships, in addressing retention issues and in developing career strategies
• Standardize the selection process and enhance the opportunities for students to transition from interns/fellows to the NASA workforce pipeline, including NASA, Aerospace Contractors, and Academia
• Enhance communication, participation and collaboration between NASA scientists and engineers, colleges and universities, STEM professional organizations and other NASA-related stakeholders
