NASA is seeking applications from graduate students for
the agency's Space Technology Research Fellowships. Applications will be
accepted from students pursuing or planning to pursue master's or doctoral
degrees in relevant space technology disciplines at accredited U.S.
universities. The fellowship awards, worth as much as $68,000 per year, will coincide with the start of the
fall 2013 term.
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. To date, NASA has awarded
these prestigious fellowships to 128 students from 50 universities and across
26 states and one U.S. territory.
"NASA's Space Technology Program is building,
testing and flying the technologies required for NASA's missions of
tomorrow," said Michael Gazarik, director of the Space Technology Program
at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "With new technologies and innovation,
astronauts will be able to travel safely beyond low Earth orbit and new science
missions will make amazing discoveries about our universe. These fellowships
will help create the next generation of highly skilled workers needed for
NASA's and our nation's future, while motivating careers in science and
technology that will lead to sustainable, high-tech jobs while America
out-innovates the world."
Sponsored by NASA's Space Technology Program, the
continuing goal of the fellowships is to provide the nation with a pipeline of
highly skilled researchers and technologists to improve U.S. technological
competitiveness. Fellows will perform innovative space technology research
while building the skills necessary to become future leaders.
The deadline for submitting applications is Dec. 4. For
