Applicant Information

The program is designed for graduate students. Attempts will be made to identify highly qualified students from a diverse background, including academic, institutional, and cultural diversity. Acceptance into the program will be based on the student’s academic record and nomination letter, which will be reviewed by a panel of experts. Students with a variety of academic disciplines related to space science are being sought, including space physics, planetary sciences, aerospace engineering, or a related field. Students will receive a fellowship to cover relocation and living expenses. Housing is the responsibility of the student, however, we will work with the students to find housing after they have been accepted into the program. This program is open to all citizenships. Students at non-US institutions must submit, in additional to a letter of recommendation from your advisor, two additional letters which are necessary to support a visa application.
