Enrollment is limited to 15 (a minimum of 10 students are required for the class to run). The class will meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6:45 to 10 p.m., Jan. 3 to 24.

NASA Summer Academy 2002 -- Applications for the 10-week NASA Summer Academy at the Goddard Space Flight Center and Ames Research Center are now available online at www.nasa-academy.nasa.gov.

The goal of the NASA Summer Academy, which is for undergraduate and graduate students, is to help guide future leaders of the U.S. Aeronautics and Space Program. Through the internship program, participants from around the country working as research associates are shown how NASA's success results from the interaction of government, academia and the private sector.

Prescreening of candidates is made by the Space Grant Consortium in each state; final selection is made by a panel that includes consortium representatives, university faculty and aerospace experts. The panel will be looking for appropriate matches to research projects as well as individual characteristics.

Selection criteria include demonstrated enthusiasm and interest in space, leadership potential in research projects, honors, awards, grade point averages and overall quality of the application package, particularly the written essays.

To be eligible, students must be enrolled as a junior or senior undergraduate or first-year graduate student as of May 29, 2002, and have U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent residency as of May 20, 2002.
