20 Undergraduate And 5 Graduate Scholorships Are Available
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission
Directorate will begin accepting scholarship applications on Sept.
1st for the 2010 academic year. The application deadline is Jan.
11, 2010.
"These scholarships are a fantastic way to support our brightest
students and encourage them to finish their education, expose them
to NASA's research programs and inspire them to pursue a career in
aeronautics," said Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for the
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in
Washington.
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 per
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.
