ASGC is administered through The University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Scholarships & FellowshipsSupport for undergraduate scholarships (Jr./Sr. level) and graduate research fellowships(Master’s/Ph.D. level) and Teacher Educators in STEM fields
Research InfrastructureSupport for students to work on mentored research projects at our established Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Programs
Support for students and mentors encompassing a wide range of experiences through internships at NASA centers and collaborating industry
Higher EducationDevelopment of special courses in Space Hardware Building and Project Management
Support for Students Building Space Hardware Programs (SSP’s) which are interdisciplinary,hands-on, student-led, expert-mentored and follow a space mission profile (design, build, fly, analyze)
Precollege ActivitiesCollaboration with universities to support pre- and in-service teacher workshops
Learning opportunities for Middle School Student and Educators such as BalloonSat programs
Informal EducationActive engagement with students, teachers, and parents in educational space related activities
Leadership in systemic change efforts in STEM Education
(All programs are open only to U.S. citizens. All applicants must be enrolled in an Alabama university or college.)
S T R A T E G I C P L A NThe ASGC has developed a strategic plan that
both reflects NASA strategic interests andsupports Alabama’s education, research
and economic agenda.
V I S I O N Our Vision is:
an increased level of appreciation, participation and leadership by the people of Alabama in our national space exploration and aerospace engineering enterprises
M I S S I O N & G O A L S Our Mission is:
to inspire, enable and educate a diverse group of Alabama students to take up careers in space science, aerospace technology and allied fields
to play our part in assuring U.S. leadership in space exploration and aerospace technology in the future
to inspire the next generation of space explorers
to bring increased realization of the value of space science and technology to the people of Alabama
to ensure that our message and our programs reach all constituencies in the population of Alabama, especially those traditionally underrepresented in the science and engineering professions
A B O U T A S G CThe Alabama Space Grant Consortium was formed
in 1989 when NASA implemented the National SpaceGrant College and Fellowship Program.
It is a voluntary association of all seven ResearchUniversities in the state along with other community
