Student Mini-Grants
Mini-grants are available for undergraduate and graduate students who are completing STEM- or NASA-relevant research that directly affects their thesis, dissertation, or a similar culminating project that enables them to graduate. These mini-grants will be awarded each semester and may include materials funding. Students who have already completed research through the NDSGC, having earned a fellowship, mini-grant, or internship, are eligible to apply to cover publication fees under this mini-grant program. However, no travel is supported. All funds must be spent within the semester they are awarded.
