Achieving Competence in Computing, Engineering and Space Science
 
[Students Higher Education]
[Available: Nationally]

The Achieving Competence in Computing, Engineering and Space Science project, or ACCESS, provides summer internships to highly qualified students with disabilities. The project is conducted through a partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS. Students work for 10 weeks during the summer with a NASA mentor in either a lab or office environment. Summer jobs are related to the participant's interests and abilities.

ACCESS participants are full-time students, both graduate and undergraduate, from accredited four-year educational institutions. They must have an academic background in engineering, computer science, physics or mathematics with a B average in their major. Participants must also be U.S. citizens.
