One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI) Overview

The over-arching mission of the One Stop Shopping Initiative (OSSI) for NASA Internship, Fellowship and Scholarship Opportunities is to advance the United States’ policy initiatives for STEM Education and workforce development. The initiative is an innovative, mission-enabling, NASA-wide approach to communicating and providing students at all Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) access to a portfolio of internship, fellowship, and scholarship opportunities offered by NASA Mission Directorates and Centers. The OSSI enables eligible students to access opportunities through a single portal (intern.nasa.gov) and single application (SOLAR). OSSI also enables NASA to continually reengage students throughout their academic careers.

NASA Education OSSI LaunchPad

The OSSI LaunchPad is an Agency-wide strategic communication tool designed to reach Education stakeholders, including students, faculty, mentors, project managers, and industry partners. The LaunchPad provides internship and fellowship awareness and “user friendly” access to special features such as the Student Online Application for Recruiting (SOLAR) Interns, Fellows, and Scholars, NASA Student Ambassador Virtual Community, Student On-line Research Journal, Special Event Announcements, Feature Stories and Videos and much more. You are invited to visit the dynamic options listed below. Please let us know if you cannot find what you are seeking on the LaunchPad!



Expected Outcomes:
1. Ensure an understanding of NASA’s perspective on STEM work force development and competency needs;
2. Ensure understanding and appreciation of the OSSI, its placement in context of national and NASA policy initiatives, and its benefits to students, NASA and the nation;
3. Familiarize stakeholders and customers with implementation plans, timelines, and practices for the OSSI to facilitate their access to and use of the OSSI tools.
