LEWIS' EDUCATIONAL AND COLLABORATIVE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM (College)
Frequently Asked Questions
- Applications are reviewed for completeness and eligibility. All eligible applicants are organized by category and reviewed by mentors for potential candidates. The mentors are encouraged to contact students for additional information.
About how many people usually apply, and how many are selected?- Usually, around 900 applications are received, and approximately 100 L.E.R.C.I.P. interns are selected each year.
- All of those who are selected are notified by April 15. The only exceptions are alternates who are offered an internship when someone else declines.
How do you know if you are an alternate, and what happens next?- You don't. It all depends on the mentor's first choice. If the first choice does not accept the internship offer, the second choice will be sent an offer. The Ohio Aerospace Institute (OAI) DOES NOT notify applicants not selected if they have been identified as alternates.
- Yes, as long as the candidate accepts the offer. For those who are not selected, we thank you for applying and encourage you to apply next year.
I am a physics major and have an excellent academic record. Why wasn't I selected?- L.E.R.C.I.P. selections are based on both merit and NASA Glenn's organizational and programmatic needs. We encourage candidates to review the NASA Glenn Projects Page and also the NASA Glenn Home Page to find out more about the programs and projects our Center is involved with.
