NASA Accepting Applications for Aeronautics Scholarship Awards
NASA's Aeronautics Research
Mission Directorate will begin accepting scholarship applications on
Sept. 1, 2009, for the 2010 academic year. The application deadline is
Jan. 11, 2010.
NASA expects to award 20 undergraduate and five graduate scholarships
to students in aeronautics or related fields. Undergraduate students
entering their second year of study will receive up to $15,000 per year
for two years and the opportunity to receive a $10,000 stipend by
interning at a NASA research center
during the summer. Graduate students will receive up to $35,000
annually for up to three years, with an opportunity to receive a
$10,000 stipend interning at a NASA research center up to two
consecutive summers.
Students who have not committed to a specific academic institution or
program still may apply. However, if accepted, they must be admitted by
fall 2010 into a suitable aeronautical engineering program or related
field of study at an accredited U.S. university. All applicants must be
U.S. citizens. Scholarship money may be used for tuition and other
school-related expenses.
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate conducts cutting-edge,
fundamental research in traditional and emerging disciplines. The
intent is to help transform the nation's air transportation system and
to support development of future air and space vehicles.
Goals include improving airspace capacity and flexibility; aviation
safety and aircraft performance; reducing overall noise, engine
emissions and fuel usage.
