NASA Extends the Opportunity for High School Students to Apply for INSPIRE Project
NASA's Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research Experience, known as INSPIRE,
is extending the application process for high school students to apply from August 27 through September 10.
NASA will make selections by the end of September.
The selectees will participate in an online learning community, OLC, in which students and parents have the
opportunity to interact with their peers and NASA engineers and scientists. It also provides appropriate grade
level educational activities, discussion boards and chat rooms for participants and their families to gain
exposure to the many career opportunities at NASA.
Students selected for the OLC will have the option to compete for experiences, including paid internships,
during the summer of 2010 at NASA facilities and participating universities throughout the nation. The summer
experience provides students a hands-on opportunity to investigate education and careers in those disciplines.

Please note that this is likely to be the last opportunity to qualify to apply for summer 2010 internships under the INSPIRE project.
