Subject: MUST Scholarship Opportunity

 

Motivating Undergraduates in Science and Technology (MUST)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is sponsoring the MUST
Project, which awards scholarships and internships to undergraduates
pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or
STEM, fields. The MUST Project is open to all students and is
particularly focused on engaging students from underserved and
underrepresented groups to enter STEM fields.

The MUST Project supports 100 undergraduate students with a one-year
competitive scholarship of up to one-half of tuition and fees, not to
exceed $10,000. Students who maintain the required minimum grade point
average will be eligible for a paid internship at a NASA center.
Additionally, students will benefit from an online community,
professional development and leadership training. 

Eligibility:
-- Must be a U.S. citizen

-- Reside in the United States or U.S. Territory
-- Be a rising freshman, sophomore or junior and hold full-time academic
status at an accredited college or university for the 2009-2010 academic
year
-- Minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
-- Pursue a STEM discipline aligned with NASA core competencies

 

Application Information:

The application period for the 4th cohort of MUST scholars will open on
November 1, 2008 and will close on February 1, 2009
