Nevada Space Grant Consortium

The Nevada Space Grant Consortium (NVSGC) is a member institution of the national network of Space Consortia funded by NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program. Congress established the program in 1988 to contribute to the nation’s scientific enterprise by funding research, education, and public service projects through a national network of 52 university-based Space Grant consortia (50 states and two territories).
NVSGC was established in 1991 with a grant from NASA and is administered under the Nevada System of Higher Education’s Sponsored Programs and Nevada EPSCoR Office. NVSGC is comprised of a network of affiliates including the Nevada System of Higher Education’s eight institutions of higher learning and other museum and industry affiliates. The overall mission of NVSGC is to provide opportunities that will enhance science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and research infrastructure for Nevada students and faculty.  Information and funding opportunities for NSHE students via NASA internships, undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships via NVSGC can be found on the following website: https://nasa.epscorspo.nevada.edu/nevada-nasa-space-grant-consortium].
