Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that the application system is now open for the 2025 NC Space Grant Graduate Research Fellowships and the Undergraduate Research Scholarships. If you have students who are eligible, please strongly encourage them to apply. Full information is available at the links below. I have also attached the RFPs to this email for your convenience. Social media links should be live by the end of this week for ease of sharing with your student populations.

Graduate Research Fellowship: The objective of the program is to encourage graduate students to pursue research and careers in STEM fields that support NASA’s Mission Directorates. This competitively awarded program requires that students participate in an active, defined research activity in STEM fields that have NASA Mission Directorate applications, inclusive of commercial space or on the ISS. NC Space Grant will grant $10,000 per award for a minimum of student awards contingent upon NASA funding and the quality of submitted proposals.

Undergraduate Research Scholarship: The objective of this program is to engage the future STEM workforce in basic and/or applied NASA-related research projects. This program awards scholarships to undergraduate students who are pursuing academic pathways in STEM fields that support NASA’s Mission Directorates, inclusive of commercial space or on the ISS. NC Space Grant will grant $8,000 per award for a minimum of student awards contingent upon NASA funding and the quality of submitted proposals.

Student applications are due no later than 5 p.m. ET, Friday, March 14, 2025. Late applications will not be accepted for any reason.
Faculty Letters of Recommendations are due 5 p.m. ET, Wednesday, March 17, 2025.

There will be 2 virtual information systems about these funding opportunities (details below). Sessions are open to students, faculty, and staff. At the sessions, participants will learn about eligibility, scoring criteria, award requirements, and tips about how to apply, in addition to a walk-through of the online system. Registration is required but is free, and participants can register up until the start of the session. I will be recording the sessions and will make one available online for viewing on-demand at a later date.

Kindly share these opportunities with your student, faculty and staff networks as appropriate.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

-Sandy
