Graduate students can apply for space grant research funds
October 29, 2018
Applications are now being accepted for the 2019 Alaska Space Grant Program's graduate
research grants. These are competitive grants for graduate students in STEM disciplines
of up to $15,000 in total direct costs.
Visit https://spacegrant.alaska.edu/student/grad for more information and application requirements. Applications are due Saturday,
Dec. 1.
The Alaska Space Grant Program, a participant in the National Space Grant College
and Fellowship Program, invites applications from U.S. citizens for graduate research
grants. These grants are offered to graduate students majoring in science, technology,
engineering and/or mathematics fields. Preference is given to projects directly related
to NASA's interests. Awards available under this announcement are limited to students
attending Alaska institutions of higher education.
While all qualified students are encouraged to apply, women and individuals from underrepresented
groups, specifically, Alaska Natives, Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics,
Pacific Islanders, and persons with disabilities, are strongly encouraged to apply.
Students are required to identify a faculty mentor with whom they intend to work and
who is available to write a letter of collaboration. The mentor must provide a letter
of collaboration agreeing to serve in the capacity of mentor for the duration of the
award and must provide 1:1 non-federal match. Please provide any potential mentors
the “Letter to Potential Mentors” available on the Alaska Space Grant website. The
letter of collaboration from a faculty mentor must address the items discussed in
this letter.
