Travel Grants
Students who have previously been awarded by the NDSGC (including NASA internships, industry internships, research fellowships, STEM ambassadors, and Bridge fellowships) are eligible for Travel Grant funding to present their STEM or NASA-relevant research at a conference, attend a STEM professional development workshop, or participate in an interactive STEM conference. Funding will be provided as a reimbursement to cover the cost of registration, lodging, and airfare up to $2,500.
Travel grant applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks prior to travel. Please note that NDSGC funds are limited and are awarded competitively. Students are allowed to submit one travel grant application per semester until they have a meritorious submission. Students are eligible to receive one travel grant per degree program (for example, students who received a travel grant during their associate's program would be eligible to reapply during their bachelor's program). International travel is not supported.
