And Takes Application For 2005
The NASA Summer High School
Apprenticeship Research Program (NSHARP) is celebrating 25 years of
selecting high-achieving students to serve as apprentices in a
variety of NASA professions. All 10 NASA centers, including the
NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, and
several universities participate in NSHARP.
Students representing nearly every state, Puerto Rico and
American Samoa have participated in the education program. Created
in 1980, NSHARP is designed to attract and increase participation
among under-represented students in science, technology,
engineering or mathematics.
The apprenticeship runs approximately eight weeks during the
summer. It engages students in research opportunities and
reinforces educational excellence. The program also seeks to enrich
and inspire students by promoting interaction within their
academic, workplace and social environments. The program also
includes an hourly stipend for students.
NASA is committed to inspiring the next generation of
explorers," said NASA SHARP Program Manager Deborah Glasco. "NASA
SHARP is a direct extension of this commitment dedicated to
academically and professionally motivating a diverse group of youth
that may one day play a vital role in fulfilling the Vision for
Space Exploration," she said.
There is a requirement that students interested in participating
in NASA SHARP reside within a 50-mile radius of a NASA center.
Applications for 2005 are available via the Internet and must be
submitted by Feb. 14, 2005.
