NASA MUST Scholarship Program NOW OPEN!

 

The Motivating Undergraduates in Science and Technology Program, funded
by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is a joint
partnership between NASA, the Hispanic College Fund, the United Negro
College Fund Special Programs and the Society for Hispanic Professional
Engineers. 

The MUST program awards scholarships and internships to undergraduates
pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics,
more widely know as STEM fields. The MUST Program is open to all
students and is particularly focused on engaging students from
underserved and underrepresented groups to enter STEM fields (Women,
African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans and persons with
disabilities).


Each year, the MUST Program will support approximately 100 undergraduate
students with a one-year competitive scholarship of up to one-half of
tuition, not to exceed $10,000. Program participants will also receive a
$5,000 stipend to participate in a summer research experience at a NASA
center.  Students will benefit year-round from tutoring, lecture series
and mentoring from STEM faculty and peers. The scholarships and
internships will be renewable for up to three years, provided the
students continue to meet the academic requirements.
