Utah NASA Space Grant Consortium Scholarship

*Background and Scholarship Administration: *
NASA initiated the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project, also known as Space Grant, in 1989.
Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities. These institutions are working to expand
opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA’s aeronautics and space projects by
