The Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) offers graduate fellowships to students in the first year of a STEM master’s degree at its Ohio affiliate universities. The program supports research projects and educational activities undertaken during an academic school year under a faculty mentor’s guidance. Its central requirement is direct alignment with one of NASA’s five mission directorates: Aeronautics Research, Space Operations, Exploration Systems Development, Science, or Space Technology.
The fellowship encompasses a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines, rather than aerospace subjects alone. Fellows begin their support in the Fall term and share their project findings through OSGC’s Annual Student Research Symposium. OSGC is Ohio’s member of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, with its program office located at the Ohio Aerospace Institute in Cleveland.
