Program Description:
 
The LARSS Program is one of NASA’s most prestigious and successful student research programs, having recently ranked among the top ten best internships in the nation. Designed to bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world experience, LARSS creates opportunities for students to come to NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) in Hampton, Virginia to conduct robust research and work on exciting projects while working side-by-side with NASA’s finest scientists and engineers. 
 
LARSS is a year-round (3 sessions) paid, research internship program for undergraduate and graduate students that provides real research experiences in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) as well as in business, communication, marketing, and other areas that support NASA’s mission. Most majors accepted! The LARSS program hosts over 200 interns annually.
 
The website is http://www.nianet.org/larss <http://www.nianet.org/larss> .  As indicated, the program is mostly STEM based with opportunities for special project areas in non-STEM disciplines as well.
 
We invite all eligible students to apply and encourage female students, under-represented minorities, college students with disabilities, military veterans, first-generation college students, and students from economically-disadvantaged backgrounds to apply.

Classification as a rising undergraduate junior, senior, or graduate student (Masters or doctoral level), by the start of the summer session
Cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
 
We also have a LARSS Bridge component, which allows early application for rising high school seniors, undergraduate freshmen and sophomores to apply if theyhave a 3.5 GPA and previous NASA program experience.  This experience can come from many areas including but not limited to any NASA OSSI-SOLAR Program, INSPIRE, SHARPE, VASTS, CHROME, NASA Governor's School, Space Camp, USRP, ACCESS, MUST, NASA Robotics, NASA Volunteer Services, and any documented time worked on a NASA grant/contract/cooperative agreement with a faculty memberthat equates to a minimum of 40 hours.
