Welcome to the official Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium page! We offer educational and research programs related to NASA's missions on Earth and in space. We also serve as a NASA point of contact for Washington state residents.
Our mission is to enhance higher education opportunities for students seeking to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM); to enrich and improve STEM education at Washington state's diverse pre-college, college, university and community learning centers; to aid the development of interdisciplinary programs within and among member institutions; and to provide public outreach for NASA missions, and thereby strengthen the future workforce for NASA and our nation.
We offer annual scholarships, fellowships and internships at member schools; professional development and resources for formal and informal educators; and sponsor NASA-related public events. We also house the Northwest Earth and Space Sciences Pipeline (NESSP), a NASA-funded collaborative K-12 education effort in Montana, Oregon and Washington.
