NASA ACCEPTS AERONAUTICS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
WASHINGTON -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate will
accept scholarship applications from Sept. 5, 2008, through Jan. 16,
2009, for the academic year beginning in fall 2009. NASA expects to
award 20 undergraduate and five graduate scholarships to students in
aeronautics or related fields.
Undergraduate students in their second year of study will receive up
to $15,000 per year for two years and a summer internship with a
$10,000 stipend at a NASA center. Graduate students will receive up
to $35,000 per year for three years and two summer internships at a
NASA center with $10,000 stipends. Scholarship money can be used for
tuition and other school-related expenses.
Students who have not committed to a specific academic institution or
program may apply. However, if accepted, they must be admitted by
fall 2009 into a suitable aeronautical engineering program or related
field of study at an accredited U.S. university. 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.
