The Pathways Program offers clear paths to Federal internships for students from high school through post-graduate; career opportunities for recent graduates; and meaningful training and career development for individuals who are at the beginning of their Federal service.
NASA International Interns (I2) are university undergraduate or graduate students, who are non-US citizens, nominated by the NASA I2 foreign partners to participate in the project. Interns must have expertise and background in technical areas of interest to NASA. Each partnering country first identifies an appropriate office or agency, usually a national space agency or other governmental partner, such as a Ministry of Education to administer NASA I2 in that country. That entity then signs an international reimbursable Space Act Agreement with NASA.
