MAWD

Program Type: Internship/Fellowship/Scholarship

The goal of the Maine Aerospace Workforce Development (MAWD) Program is to engage undergraduate students in summer research experiences at NASA centers. This 10-week (400 hours) internship motivates the students to seriously consider NASA-related careers in the public and private sectors. NASA interns are paid a stipend plus travel expenses up to $6,500. Students provide us weekly progress updates through the duration of their internship, and submit an abstract after the completion of their internship experience. We encourage students to share their experiences at their high schools after their internships.
