NASA Space Grant Scholarship

The National Space Grant Act passed by congress in 1988, established a National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program. This program was designed to provide activities that would increase the understanding, assessment, development, and utilization of aerospace resources and expand the educational, scientific, and research base of all aerospace-related fields. There are 52 Space Grant Consortia, representing every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Southwestern is proud to be included in the Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium, which consists of a statewide partnership of eight universities, a cooperative extension service, state government, city government, industry, and a major science museum. The consortium supports programs in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, education, geography, and other aeronautics and space related disciplines throughout the state.

Scholarships are awarded to promising undergraduates who express an interest and aptitude for a broad range of projects and research in science and education, see SWOSU student awards. Awardees are required to commit a certain number of hours each semester to supporting space-related activities within the state, such as volunteering at the Stafford Space Museum, to help foster a sense of social responsibility.
