The National Air and Space Museum offers an exciting work experience to college and university students through its Summer Internship Program. Interns have a firsthand opportunity to learn about the historic artifacts and archival materials housed in the Museum and to study the scientific and technological advances they represent.

Each year positions are available in a variety of Museum departments such as Aircraft Restoration, Aviation or Space History, Planetary Science, Collections Management, Exhibit Design, Public Relations, and Education. Students from all fields of study are encouraged to apply.

A commitment of 10 weeks during the summer is required. Full-time interns work 40 hours per week from approximately the first week in June until the second week in August. A $5,500 stipend is provided to help interns defray expenses.

Applications are accepted from January 15 to February 15 during the calendar year of the internship. Download the application below or send a request for application to:
