PSI is dedicated to educating and training students to become future scientists, as well as offering experience in science to students who will go on to other fields. Since the early 1970's, PSI has been hosting undergraduate and high school research interns from a variety of sponsoring programs, including NASA, higher educational institutions, and public/private organizations.
To participate:Most of PSI's undergraduate research interns come through the UA/NASA Space Grant Program and the NASA Planetary Geology and Geophysics Undergraduate Research Program (PGGURP). Apply for an internship through one of these programs, or check here to find out about occasionally available PSI-funded internships. |
