NASA Pathways Internships & Recent Graduate Program

NASA's official Pathways program: paid internships, recent-graduate placements and fellowships across every NASA centre, with conversion to permanent federal roles for students who complete the program.

From the site: Spring 2027 Pathways Internship applications will open on September 21, 2026, and close on September 25, 2026. Spring 2027 internships will begin January 25,

Why I recommend it: Federal hiring runs on its own calendar — Pathways openings post on USAJOBS in short windows, so check this page monthly rather than once.

Clay Mathematics Institute

The institute behind the Millennium Prize Problems, with free lecture videos, published proofs, historical mathematics archives and details of its research programmes.

Why I recommend it: Free access to serious mathematics — the lecture library alone is worth bookmarking if you are studying or teaching math.

FindAPhD

A free searchable database of funded PhD positions, studentships and research masters worldwide, with funding details, deadlines and supervisor contacts.

Why I recommend it: Free to search and filter by funding — use the funded-only filter so you are not applying to positions you would have to pay for.

Learn with MIT

MIT's combined catalogue of courses, programs and open learning materials across every department, with a filter for the free ones and for those offering certificates.

Why I recommend it: Use the "Free" filter first — there is an enormous amount of MIT teaching material at no cost, including full lecture notes and video.
