Graduate Fellowship Program

Applications for the 2008 Graduate Research Fellowships are closed. Please check back for announcements regarding future calls for applications. The Graduate Fellowship Program is intended for first-year graduate students at OSGC affiliate institutions that are pursuing aerospace or science related graduate studies. These merit-based fellowships are part of a national program focused on increasing the number of scientists and engineers available for careers in aerospace and related fields. While the fellowships are intended for recruiting, the fellowship stipends may also be added to teaching or research assistantships to provide additional incentive and more completely support the student's graduate studies. Fellowships are three-year awards for $6,000 per year.

Current OSGC Fellows should use this form for quarterly reporting activities. Fellows should either print and mail the required forms or use a PDF creation program (such as PrimoPDF, Sourceforge, or PDF Producer) to create a digital file for email delivery. (There are many other free pdf creation utilities available through this hyperlink)

Undergraduate Scholarships

The Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) is pleased to provide undergraduates from our member colleges and universities opportunities to apply for scholarship awards that support their academic goals and recognize their achievements.

Applications are now closed!
Watch this page for the 2009-2010 call later this year.

Scholarships are open to new and continuing students in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The OSGC Undergraduate Scholarship Program supports the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) objectives of fostering and encouraging career goals in the aerospace industry. Individuals from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply.

Scholarships of up to $6,000 will be awarded through a competitive process at individual member colleges and universities. Note: Students receiving awards in past competitions may apply and receive awards for subsequent competitions.

Complete details regarding the application process can be found on the guidelines webpage. If you require additional assistance, please contact us by email (spacegrant@oregonstate.edu) or by phone (541-737-2414).


Congratulations to all of our
2008-09 Undergraduate Scholarship Recipients!!
