NASA AWARDS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR INTERNSHIPS

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Office of Education has awarded a cooperative
agreement to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) to
support the agency's education internship programs.

The award's value is estimated at $3 million and $10 million per year,
depending on options. The period of performance will not exceed five
years.

The agreement covers NASA's Minority University Research and Education
Program (MUREP) and the Space Grant Program, which provide internship
opportunities to qualified STEM students and educators.

This agreement may include support to the National Science Foundation,
which implements other internship programs throughout the federal
government, as outlined in the president's budget request for fiscal
year 2014.

USRA is a recognized leader in administering educational opportunities
for students and teachers that lead to employment with NASA and the
broader aerospace industry requiring science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) expertise.
