Lillian Goettler Scholarship

The NDSGC established the prestigious Lillian Goettler Space Grant Award for a student at North Dakota State University. Applicants will ideally be involved in a research project of NASA relevance. Undergraduate and graduate students who meet the criteria below are encouraged to apply. This $2500 award honors the ideals of scholarship as exemplified by Dr. Lillian Goettler. Dr. Goettler, a former faculty member in Mechanical Engineering at NDSU, set a standard for women in her field. Dr. Goettler pursued her goals by earning a Ph.D. in 1974 and working overseas before joining the faculty at NDSU in 1978. Another important piece of Dr. Goettler's legacy was her role as a founding member of Expanding Your Horizons, a program for junior high school girls to explore the fields of science and math.
