Scholarships and Fellowships

Astronaut Scholarship Foundation More than 30 former astronauts are helping the United States retain its world leadership in science and technology by providing scholarships for college students who exhibit motivation, imagination, and exceptional performance in the science or engineering field of their major. To date, 170 scholarships have been awarded. www.astronautscholarship.org/index.html

Harriett G. Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship Program The Harriett G. Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship Program (JPFP) employs the best practices for advancing increased numbers of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities participating in the math, science, engineering, and technology (MSET) disciplines. Annually, up to 20 US citizens are selected to receive up to 3 years of fellowship support leading to doctoral degrees in NASA-related disciplines. Fellowships are awarded to applicants that have been accepted into or currently attending an accredited Masters or Doctoral program. Students who have completed school and departmental requirements for doctoral candidacy including but not limited to Doctoral Qualification Examination(s), Cumulative Examination(s), or Comprehensive Examination(s) are ineligible. www.uncfsp.org/NASA/Jenkins/Welcome.aspx

Michelson Fellowship Program The Michelson Fellowship Program seeks to support the scientific community in becoming familiar with the tools and techniques of the search for extra-solar planets. At this time, we consider optical and infrared interferometers and coronagraphs particularly promising. These and other tools will not only advance our understanding of other solar-systems but will also enable astronomers to answer fundamental questions about the universe. sim.jpl.nasa.gov/michelson/

NASA FACULTY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM The NASA Faculty Fellowship Program (NFFP) offers hands-on exposure to NASA's research challenges through 10-week summer research residencies at participating NASA research centers for full-time science and engineering faculty at U.S. colleges and universities. Participants work closely with NASA colleagues on research that is important to NASA's five strategic enterprises. www.asee.org/nffp/default.cfm
