National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (NSGCFP)
The National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (also known as Space Grant) was initiated by NASA in 1989. Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing science, and engineering education, research, and public outreach programs. The Space Grant national network includes over 850 affiliates from universities, colleges, industry, museums, science centers, and state and local agencies. These affiliates belong to one of 52 consortia in all 50 United States, the District of Columbia and the commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
The 52 consortia fund fellowships and scholarships for students pursuing careers in Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology, as well as curriculum enhancement and faculty development programs. Member colleges and universities also administer pre-college and public service education programs in their states.
