Description
The South Carolina Space Grant Consortium’s Graduate Research Fellowship supports research-based master’s and doctoral study in science, mathematics, and engineering. It aims to develop scientists and engineers for work in aerospace, space science, space applications, and space technology, while addressing the continuing needs of aeronautics and space efforts.
Students propose a defined, NASA-relevant research project under a faculty mentor, describing its methods, goals, expected results, and timeline. Fellows conduct at least 350 hours of research, submit a final research report, and present their work at a research symposium or conference.
