The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) is one of 52 consortia of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, established in 1989.
The main objective of the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium is to provide and support opportunities for our students to pursue research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and prepare them for careers that support NASA’s goals and the high-tech workforce development needs of North Dakota. This is done through scholarships, fellowships, pre-service workshops, and various outreach activities across the state.
The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium embraces the goals and objectives established by the National Space Grant Program, as captured in the vision statement:
"The National Space Grant College and Fellowship program is a national network of colleges and universities working to expand opportunities for Americans to understand and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing science, and engineering education, research, and public outreach efforts."
