Research scholarships of $5,000 per student will be awarded through a competitive process to individuals attending OSGC member colleges and universities. These awards will be offered in two disbursements, the first award in the amount of $3,000 in October of 2010, and the second disbursement in the amount of $2,000 in March 2011 (upon proof of satisfactory academic and research progress).

This scholarship program supports the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) objectives of fostering and encouraging career goals in science, engineering, and the aerospace industry. Individuals from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply. These awards are intended to build collaboration opportunities between undergraduate students and faculty mentors working within a STEM discipline. Note: Students receiving awards in past competitions may apply and receive awards for subsequent competitions.

Six (6) research awards will be offered during the 2010-11 academic year to sophomore and junior level students who are nearing completion of a 4-year degree in a science, math, engineering, technology, or science/math education (STEM) discipline. Undergraduate Research Scholarship funding is designated for the completion of the proposed research project during the student’s junior or senior year. Students must be enrolled at a 4-Year institution affiliated with OSGC (see list in Section I of the OSGC 2010-11 scholarship guide) and must provide proof of successful academic progress, satisfactory work on a proposed research project, and continued study in a STEM discipline.

Research projects are assumed to be collaborative efforts with faculty mentors but proposals should ultimately be the work of the individual applicant.

The symposium is typically hosted at the Oregon State University campus during the fall or winter term.
