The Iowa Space
Grant Consortium
Promoting opportunities aligned with NASA’s mission by stimulating research, education, and outreach programs for all Iowans.
A part of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program since 1990, the Iowa Space Grant Consortium (ISGC) continually strives to improve and inspire Iowa’s future in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The ISGC supports NASA-relevant STEM research, education, and outreach activities for all Iowans with NASA internships, fellowships, and scholarships, competitions for grants within higher education members (with NASA Mission Directorate alignment), as well as informal education grants with outreach affiliates.

ISGC is Part of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program
NASA initiated the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Project, also known as Space Grant, in 1989. Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities. These institutions are working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA’s aeronautics and space projects by supporting and enhancing science and engineering education, research and public outreach efforts.
