1. The PSGC Undergraduate Space Grant Scholarship :

The Pennsylvania Space Grant Consortium invites students to apply for the PSGC Undergraduate Scholarship for the 2014-15 academic year. Four scholarship recipients will receive $4000 each. Awardees may apply for a second year.

Under represented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields (STEM) are encouraged to apply.

The PSGC Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded to full-time students attending an accredited Pennsylvania college or university with outstanding academic records who will be juniors or seniors in Fall 2014. Students must be U.S. citizens, enrolled in science, engineering, or mathematics and likely to pursue a career in an area of interest to NASA with demonstrated potential for graduate study.

The NASA Strategic Enterprises are Aero-Space Technology, Earth Science, HEDS, Space Science, and Biological and Physical Research. To learn more about NASA research priorities, please see the following research program homepages : Earth Science, Space Science, Biological and Physical Research, Aerospace Technology, and Space Flight. Fields of study in most departments are eligible.

In keeping with the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program goals, scholars will participate in mentoring or educational outreach activities (for grades K-12 or the general public) for a minimum of ten hours per semester. Failure to assume a mentor role or maintain a high academic standard will be reason to disqualify the student from continuing support. Work outside the attending institution is not necessary.
