Students and Internships

Our student programs allow you to learn more about NSA, deepen your career field knowledge and collect a paycheck or scholarship money.

We offer internships, scholarships, a co-op program and other programs for students in high school up through doctoral candidates. The application process for our student programs is the same as our job application process.

Our programs are paid; salary is based on your education level. We may also offer paid time off, holiday and sick leave, subsidized housing assistance (if eligible) and travel reimbursement (if eligible).

Undergrad and graduate programs

We generally accept applications from September 1 to October 1. Check the individual programs for exceptions. Each internship announcement will provide specific application requirements.
