Description
The Alaska Space Grant Program's Undergraduate Research Apprenticeships provide funding and mentorship for undergraduate students majoring in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) at Alaska institutions of higher education. The program aims to cultivate research skills, promote diversity in STEM, and offer students the opportunity to conduct research projects aligned with NASA's strategic interests. Apprentices work closely with a faculty mentor, develop a project proposal, and are encouraged to present their research at the Alaska Space Grant Symposium or another public forum.
