Successful Candidates Will Receive Up To $35,000 Per Year For
Two Years
NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is accepting
scholarship applications from graduate and undergraduate students
for the 2012 academic year. The application deadline is Jan. 15,
2012. Graduate students must apply under a specific research topic
to align with NASA's aeronautics research programs. The list of
available topics is posted online.
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
year for up to three years, with an opportunity to receive a
$10,000 stipend interning at a NASA research center for up to two
consecutive summers.
"Pairing our best aeronautical innovators at NASA with the
nation's brightest students, through internship opportunities in
our scholarship program helps ensure we will continue to have the
talented workforce we need to solve the challenges of 21st century
aviation," said Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for the
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in
Washington.
Students not committed to a specific academic institution or
program still may apply. If accepted, they must be admitted by fall
2012 into an aeronautical engineering program or related field of
study at an accredited U.S. university. 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 and integrated systems 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. Its goals include
improving airspace capacity and flexibility; aviation safety and
aircraft performance; reducing overall noise, engine emissions and
fuel usage.
