The Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium offers fellowships for graduate students in science, engineering or math at Washington State University. These competitive fellowships are based on academic achievement, two short essays, and the strength of a recommendation from a faculty mentor. Scholarships of up to $2,500 will be awarded at the end of the 2026 spring semester. A cost share commitment of 1:1 from non-federal sources will need to be included as part of the project. Examples of cost share can be faculty salary, wages, teaching assistantships, benefits, and supplies for the project. The deadline to apply is May 4.
Eligibility — applicants must:
- Be pursuing a graduate degree within the following colleges (any campus):
- College of Arts and Sciences
- Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture
- College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences
- Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine
- College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences
- Have a research project in a field broadly related to activities supported by NASA.
- Have a faculty mentor who will supervise the research project.
- Be a U.S. citizen.
Preference will be for applicants who have not yet received a Space Grant Fellowship, although previous years’ recipients are eligible to apply again.
