GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM
(GSRP)


Program Description
The Graduate Student Research Program provides fellowships of $30,000 per student per year. The fellowship is renewable based on satisfactory progress and available funding, but is not to exceed three years. NASA’s scientists and engineers competitively evaluate students applying for these fellowships on their academic qualifications, proposed research, and plan of study. Fellows must spend some period of time in residence at the Center which selected them. This program supports approximately 300 graduate students each year.


Program Goal
The goals of this program are to broaden the base of students pursuing advanced degrees in science and engineering and to cultivate additional research ties to the academic community.

Eligibility
Must be a U.S. citizen who is a full-time graduate student at an accredited U.S. college or university. A graduate department chair or faculty advisor must sponsor the applicant. Other eligibility requirements are described in the “General Policies and Procedures” section of the GSRP: http://www.education.nasa.gov/gsrp
