The UA/NASA Space Grant Program and nominating departments provide six graduate fellowships per year to exceptional graduate students interested in promoting the understanding of space-related research to the public and who are studying in space sciences/engineering, public policy, earth sciences, science education, and global change-related fields. Awards include a $16,000 per year stipend for one or two years, both in- and out-of-state tuition, fee waivers and health insurance. Fellowships also include a $1500 award to travel to scientific meetings. Though totals vary based on individual circumstances, the total value of a fellowship in 2008 is approximately $28,000.00. Space Grant fellows are required to complete an educational outreach project as part of their fellowship.
A candidate must be a graduate student at The University of Arizona studying in a space science/engineering-related discipline (that is, helping address NASA's mission, which includes, for example, Earth Sciences and Science Education) and be a citizen of the United States. In addition, applicants must meet UA Graduate College fellowship requirements to be considered for an award.
These awards are funded with Space Grant monies plus a required
department cost-share. Specifically, Space Grant provides 10K stipend,
out-of-state tuition waiver, and student health insurance. Departments
provide: 6K stipend, in-state tuition/registration fee waiver, and
$750/year travel funds. For further information contact Susan A.
