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
supporting and enhancing science and engineering education, research and public outreach efforts.
A primary objective of NASA’s Space Grant Program is to recruit, train, and employ U.S. citizens, underserved
students, in NASA-related careers.

Awardees may re-apply for the following year upon satisfactory progress toward their undergraduate STEM
degree and if the student is still enrolled. The selection process of scholarship recipients will be conducted by
the Center for Student Access & Resources (CSAR) scholarship committee and the Utah NASA Space Consortium
awards the scholarship.
