Getting Ready to Graduate?

Space Grant at CU offers opportunities for 1st Year through Graduate students to apply what you have learned in class and give you the practical experience which will give you the skills employers need. Space Grant is an interdisciplinary program with students  from various majors, working together on a team to accomplish a goal. All projects are student-managed, constructed, tested and flown giving you the experience you can't find anywhere else. Opportunities range from populating printed circuit boards to flying an experiment to 100,000 ft on a high altitude balloon to launching a payload to space on a sounding rocket to designing a satellite for a low earth orbit.  Positions can be volunteer, stipend, or hourly paid - usually depending on time, availability, and experience level.  Some positions have limited eligibility, such as those imposed by federal regulations.

Minimum requirements: Some positions require specific skills or experience but many positions only require the interest to learn and become engaged in a project. Â鶹ÒùÔº are required to work at least 4 hours a week participating on a team, though students are encouraged to dig deeper into a project and work 6 - 10+ hours per week during the academic semester.  Summer opportunities can go up to 30 hours, but this is rare.
