NASA Exploration Systems Mission Directorate (ESMD) Virginia Student Internship Program
The ESMD Virginia Internship program is a higher education project that distributes funds to university students for exploration-oriented design projects and internships. The purpose of these internships is to train and develop the highly skilled scientific, engineering, and technical workforce of the future needed to implement the Vision for Space Exploration. Students will be engaged in hands-on engineering projects with a placement mentor during a 10-week period in summer of 2008. The internships will be open to juniors, seniors and graduate students. Application deadline for all positions is February 25, 2008.

Old Dominion University's Engineering Early Advantage Program (EEAP)
Funded by the Virginia Space Grant Consortium, and sponsored by the Old Dominion's Career Management Center, EEAP was created to give female students early exposure to the university and provide them with a unique engineering experience. EEAP is part of ODU's Womengineers initiative, an ongoing effort to address the lack of women in engineering through education, recruitment and retention of female students from elementary school through college. Having just completed its 5th year, this successful ongoing program  has provided 44 young women with a “head start” including hands-on engineering experiences, networking and mentoring opportunities with faculty, and the opportunity to bond with other female engineering students.
