Would you like to learn more about career opportunities that involve science, technology, engineering and math? Then consider applying for the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (CAS) Program!
The deadline to apply is Jan. 29. DCCCD has slots for just 16 participants and eight alternates, who will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis once initial requirements are met. So
don’t delay — apply now!
If you’re selected for the NASA-CAS program, you’ll need to complete interactive Web-based activities at home (or anywhere else you have Internet access). Then you’ll participate in an on-site experience at NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC), where you’ll take part in a MARS team project directed by NASA engineers, attend astronaut briefings and take a tour of NASA-JSC facilities.
The three-day visit will take place April 23-25.
Transportation, meals, lodging and supplies are provided
at no charge to students.
Many students who participate in the program have a strong background in computers and/or science and engineering, but other students are welcome to apply, too. Part-time and full-time credit students can apply.
Specific eligibility requirements can be found on the CAS Web site.
