Connecting Pennsylvania Citizens to NASA Resources and Opportunities.
NASA initiated the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, also known as Space Grant, in 1989. Space Grant is a national network of colleges and universities. These institutions are working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space projects by supporting and enhancing science and engineering education, research and public outreach efforts. The Space Grant national network includes over 1000 affiliates from universities, colleges, industry, museums, science centers, and state and local agencies. These affiliates belong to one of 52 consortia in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
As one of 52 members of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, our mission is to expand opportunities for Pennsylvanians to learn about and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education, research, and outreach programs.
The PSGC maintains a diverse array of programs to develop opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in research and discovery. In particular, we strive to provide students with opportunities to be involved with NASA relevant projects including student flight programs. We aim to assist both K-12 and higher education with the development of science, mathematics, and technology programs.
