Applications are open for the 2023-24 Maryland Space Grant Scholarships
with a deadline of May 17, 2023:
These scholarships are awarded to full-time STEM majors who are planning to work for NASA or other space-research or aerospace-related careers. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and enrolled full-time at UMD. Eligibility requirements also include a 3.0 GPA or better. Space Grant puts a strong emphasis on funding students from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in Astronomy, including women, persons of color, veterans and LGBT+ students.
Awards are typically in the $1k - 2k range and must be used for educational expenses (tuition, books, fees, and room and board). The award is for one year and is renewable annually.
Please feel free to contact the local Space Grant coordinator for CMNS, Melissa Hayes-Gehrke (mhayesge@umd.edu), or the MD Space Grant office , Matt Collinge (collinge@jhu.edu), with any questions.
