NASA AERONAUTICS OFFERS UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS
WASHINGTON - NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate will accept
applications from undergraduate and graduate students between Feb. 22
and Mar. 17, 2008, for its fall 2008 scholarship program. The purpose of
this new scholarship program is to attract highly-motivated students to
aeronautics and related fields.
Undergraduates in their second year of study can earn up to $15,000 per
year for two years, and graduate students can earn up to $35,000 per
year for three years. Money can be used for tuition, room and board, and
other school-related expenses. Students also can apply for optional
summer internships at NASA research centers to earn an additional
$10,000 in stipends.
Students who have not committed to a specific academic institution or
program can apply, but if accepted into the scholarship program, they
must be admitted into a suitable aeronautical engineering program or
related field of study at an accredited U.S. university by the fall of
2008. All applicants must be U.S. citizens.
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate works to enhance the
state of aeronautics for the nation, transform the U.S. air
transportation system and develop the knowledge, tools and technologies
to support future air and space vehicles. The directorate's focus is on
cutting-edge, fundamental research in traditional aeronautical
disciplines, as well as emerging fields with promising applications to
aeronautics.
