NASA SEEKS SPACE TECHNOLOGY GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP APPLICANTS

 

WASHINGTON -- NASA is seeking applications from graduate students for

the agency's new Space Technology Research Fellowships. Applications

are being accepted from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of

graduate students interested in performing space technology research

beginning in the fall of 2011.

 

The fellowships will sponsor U.S. graduate student researchers who

show significant potential to contribute to NASA's strategic space

technology objectives through their studies. Sponsored by NASA's

Office of the Chief Technologist, the fellowships' goal is to provide

the nation with a pipeline of highly skilled engineers and

technologists to improve America's technological competitiveness.

NASA Space Technology Fellows will perform innovative space

technology research today while building the skills necessary to

become future technological leaders.

 

"Our Space Technology Graduate Fellowships will help create the pool

of highly skilled workers needed for NASA's and our nation's

technological future, motivating many of the country's best young

minds into educational programs and careers in science, technology,

engineering and mathematics," said NASA Chief Technologist Bobby

Braun at the agency's Headquarters in Washington. "This fellowship

program is coupled to a larger, national research and development

effort in science and technology that will lead to new products and

services, new business and industries, and high-quality, sustainable

jobs. Fellowships will be awarded to outstanding young researchers

and technologists positioned to take on NASA's grand challenges and

turn these goals and missions into reality."

 

The deadline for submitting fellowship proposals is Feb. 23.

Information on the fellowships, including how to submit applications,

is available at:
