Check out thier site (referenced in Mr. Lavery's post above). Specifically,

In addition, those who wish to participate in the Commuter Component of NASA SHARP must permanently reside and attend a school within a fifty-mile radius of a participating NASA Field Installation. Those who wish to participate in the Residential Component must be willing to live on campus at the university selected by MTSI for the entire duration of the Program. Transportation to and from the university is covered by MTSI.

I heard they have changed things around since when I was in it, in this regard (or at least locally here at LaRC), so I can't comment more than: check their site and see what they say.

Incidentally, I'm teaching QBASIC and Physics this summer to 4-8 graders, and today was the first session's last day, where all the parents came. Unbeknownst to me, one of the girls' fathers was my mentor from SHARP! I was quite suprised, and glad to see him. It's definately worth getting into, -- and like I said in this post, put in as much as you want to get out (which should be a whole darn lot).
