Deadline: September 4, 2020 (This information is posted for reference only.)
Opportunity is now closed as the deadline has passed.

Purpose:

The Iowa Space Grant Consortium (ISGC) will award fellowships to support outstanding graduate students pursuing NASA-aligned research opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines.

Eligibility:

  • U.S. citizen
  • Full-time enrollment at Iowa State or University of Iowa as of August 2020
  • Graduation date no earlier than May 2021
  • Must be accepted into an MS or PhD program (STEM field)
  • Good academic standing (minimum 3.0/4.0 GPA)

Description:

The awardee will receive $3,275 as a fellowship applied to their university account after receipt of an acceptance letter. Awards will be processed before the end of the Fall 2020 semester.

Selection:

In accordance with the eligibility rules listed above, a total of eight (8) awards of $3,275 will be provided to the students who have the highest academic merit, have submitted a transcript and recommendation letter, and have identified a research project focused in a NASA-aligned STEM discipline, which directly aligns with NASA’s Mission Directorate and strategic objectives. Awardees will need to provide an unofficial transcript upon graduation and agree to participate in a NASA longitudinal tracking process that surveys student progress and eventual employment outcome to help assess the effectiveness of our program and STEM retention efforts. The ISGC director, in consultation with a consortium review committee, will make award selections. Females, under-represented minorities, persons with disabilities, and U.S. military veterans are strongly encouraged to apply.

To Apply:

  • Complete the fellowship application
  • As part of the application, you will be asked to upload your most recent unofficial transcript (unprotected and unsecured PDF)
  • Faculty advisors must submit a recommendation letter that describes the student’s research. A second recommendation letter is optional that addresses the student’s broader qualifications.
