NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking of application deadlines, NASA<\/a> offers another unique experience for students through a program called the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars<\/a> (NCAS). It is offered specifically to community college STEM students. According to the website, the NCAS<\/a> gives community college STEM students an authentic NASA experience and encourages the student to complete their college training in a NASA-related field for a potential career. You\u2019ll need to act fast if you want to take advantage of this opportunity. The application for the spring session is now open and closes this month on Dec. 15! The link for more information about this program directs you to Oklahoma State\u2019s website<\/a>, but we have been assured that the program is open to everyone.<\/p>\n
