The University of Hawai‘i Space Grant Consortium, as a participant in the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, invites applicants for NASA Undergraduate Space Grant Fellowships and NASA Undergraduate Space Grant Traineeships to support original research projects in the fields relevant to NASA’s goals as defined in the current Strategic Plan for NASA. 

The goal of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program is to expand opportunities for U.S. citizens to understand and participate in NASA’s aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing science and engineering education, research and outreach programs.

All full-time undergraduates enrolled at the University of Guam who have declared a major are eligible to apply for Fellowships and Traindeeships. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must be sponsored by a mentor who is willing to guide the student for the duration of the award.  Most mentors are faculty at the University but senior researchers or other qualified personnel at UOG or elsewhere are eligible.  Awards will be based on the quality of proposed research/study, appropriateness of proposed research to NASA’s goals, and feasibility of proposed research/study within the planned academic time frame, and the academic qualifications of the student.

Successful candidates will be designated University of Guam Space Grant Fellows/Trainees.

Fellows are expected to work between ten and fifteen hours a week on their projects during the semester.  Financial support includes a stipend of $4000 per semester and up to $500 for supplies and/or travel pertinent to their project.

Trainees receive a stipend of $1500 for working at least five to ten hours per week during the semester and up to $250 for supplies pertinent to their project.
