Virginia Space Grant Consortium Research Fellowships
W&M graduate students have been very successful in receiving research fellowships from the Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC). During the past five years, 16 A&S graduate students have received new research fellowships, with 10 of those students receiving fellowship renewals for a second year. The term "aerospace" is interpreted very broadly, although the application must explain clearly how the research is related to NASA's mission.
Through four Scholarship/Fellowship programs, the VSGC awards approximately $300,000 annually to undergraduate and graduate students attending member universities and Virginia community colleges. Graduate Research Fellowships are $6,000 awards (renewable for one year) of add-on graduate support for U.S. citizens enrolled at a Virginia Space Grant university pursuing any field of graduate study in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) with aerospace relevance (Master’s or Doctoral level).
