Scholarships, Internships, and Career Information

The College of Natural Sciences is your primary source of general scholarships. You have access to additional general scholarships if you are a member of the Commonwealth Honors College.

For internships and career information/advice, we recommend starting on the AAS Career and AstroBetter websites to educate yourself first. Most of the national and international opportunities are found there. The Five College Astronomy Department runs a summer research internship program each summer for astronomy students within the Five Colleges. We encourage students to take advantage of these internship programs.
