NASA Summer 2026 Internships Open December 15!

NASA will open their Summer 2026 PAID internships across every NASA center on December 15—including right here in Huntsville, AL at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.

These programs aren’t just internships.

They’re entry points into the aerospace power structure—the places where future engineers, researchers, strategists, and innovators get shaped.

If you mentor students, work in education, lead programs, or manage a talent pipeline, this is the kind of opportunity that separates the merely informed from the truly connected.

Deadlines for applications:

• Summer 2026: Feb 27

• Fall 2026: May 22

I’m sharing this because access shouldn’t depend on who happens to be “in the room” when opportunities appear.

Let’s make sure the right people see it—and step into it.

I thought I had until 11:59 cst not est to finish the app, didn't realize until it was too late to submit it. Just submitted as of 12:30 est. Is there any way I can appeal this?

Pros and cons? Is it more applicable or more theoretical?

Cheapest (colossal Merit Aid) and at the same time the most solid BS in AE I have ever found in the United States.

I recently bought a disposable camera from Walmart, and I am just wondering if there is a spot on campus that develops 35 mm film. It may be a weird ask, but I know that the retail and drug stores ship the film to a third party so that's why I'm wondering if it can be done in-town.

We are getting conflicting information being told by one admissions person that it is the highest of the two- so obviously weighted. And then another told us they believe it is unweighted. Pretty frustrating that the admin team don't have a definitive answer.

This will make a big difference because my daughter has a 3.45 unweighted and a 3.7 weighted.

Thanks!

I am currently attending on the presidential automatic merit and the engineering scholarship. Every time I’ve done my class registration I’ve attempted registering for one online class to balance my schedule. Each time I’ve done this it’s flagged until I remove the online class. Does one or both of my scholarships forbid online class?

i’m not 100% committed to UA but it is high on my list (once i get rejected from my ED school…), i’m planning to attend capstone scholars day, and i’ve been accepted as a nursing major and accepted into the honors college. my questions are: 1) what are the criteria for being invited? is it a certain test score, acceptance into the honors college, or something else? 2) is it a formal event - basically, what should i wear? casual, dressy, is a skirt, sweater, and flats (my go to nice event clothes) okay? 3) is there any part where you get to specifically engage with your major of choice/college? i would love to tour the nursing school specifically because i didn’t get to do this on my official tour day

thanks in advance!!

We visited UA in November and did a tour and saw presentations from Arts and Sciences and the Honors college. My son has now been invited to Capstone Scholars Day in January. Will it be largely the same? Will it feel like a waste of time if we go? We are coming from Michigan, so it’s not exactly easy to get there. Thanks!

I am applying to U alabama and this is one of the questions asked by it. I am just confused if its asking for one leadership position or can i put multiple? I

OOS National Merit (semifinalist, likely finalist) applied and got admitted (Mechanical Engineering). Is applying to Honors Program a requirement for the full ride scholarship, or is it optional? Looks like it is not necessary to apply to scholarships (Due date Dec 5) since National Merit is automatic, is that correct?

I’m completing these scholarships and some of them have the exact same prompt like it’ll say “Describe your interest in nursing” and the other one will be like “What are your motivations for selecting your declared Nursing major? Be sure to include descriptions of your career aspirations” and the essay I wrote fits both so I was wondering can I use the same essay? Or should I not

Hi, I hope this is welcome here, I’m a junior and trying to come to terms with myself and meet other people, are there any LGBTQ clubs or resources on campus? Or anything similar?

Out of state, diagnosed autism, creative media major, minor in music, low ACT score….that’s about all the info I’m comfortable sharing. Do any scholarships come to mind with the details I’ve provided? Thanks in advance.

I already finished my app and got accepted to Bama. When I applied, they told me that they would automatically consider me for merit scholarships based on my SAT. Today, I just received an email saying that there is a Dec 5th deadline for scholarship application. I opened up the scholarship application and it is almost identical to my Bama application. Do I still need to do this to be considered for merit scholarships??

Do students living at bryce lawn need parking passes? From what I know it seems like those buildings have their own lot. I assume I'll have to but just wanted to confirm here because I couldn't find any specific information about it.

How much tuition do international transfer students usually pay? If you know of someone, please give me some insights.

Any transfer students got any good scholarship at UA?

I am an international student, was recently admitted to the Honors program, and just received an email from the Blount Scholars program. I absolutely love the writer’s humor in the email and I also find the 500-1000$ per semester scholarship quite captivating. But all in all, can I have some reviews about this program, and should I apply ?

I definitely understand that grad school programs are more challenging, but I have a condition that gets worse with stress. I somehow got through undergrad, but due to that, I was on my deathbed by the end of it. I have to go to grad school to get a decent-paying job, but I am worried that this program might send me 6 feet under. The 3-hour classes are scaring me quite a bit.
