Astronaut Scholarship Information Session
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation Scholarship program aids the United States in retaining its world leadership in technology and innovation by supporting the very best and brightest scholars in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while commemorating the legacy of America’s pioneering astronauts.
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation awards fifty scholarships valued up to $15,000 to each selected scholar. The ASF scholarship award is just the beginning for Astronaut Scholars, and their selection is the beginning of a life-long relationship with astronauts, alumni, and great leaders who span academia, technical research, and corporate leadership.
Students must be nominated to compete for the Astronaut Scholarship. UW is authorized to nominate two candidates to the national competition, and we conduct an internal UW application and nominee selection process each winter. Interested students are encouraged to attend one of the Astronaut Scholarship Information Sessions. Please register here: http…
