The North Dakota NASA Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) offers Student Mini-Grants to undergraduate and graduate students completing STEM- or NASA-relevant research. The research must directly contribute to a thesis, dissertation, or similar culminating project required for graduation. Administered by the consortium housed at the University of North Dakota, the program supports research materials as students complete their degrees.
The same program also supports publication fees for students who have already completed research through an NDSGC fellowship, mini-grant, or internship. Awards are structured by semester, with all funds spent within the semester of the award. Laptops, computers, and travel are excluded from support.
