WSGC Higher Education Incentives

Eligibility

WSGC Higher Education Incentives, with an application deadline in February, offers numerous awards of $15000 each.

Description

The Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium invites proposals for value-added, higher education teaching or training projects related to any space or aerospace discipline. This is a seed-grant program for faculty implemented undergraduate education projects which support the most innovative ideas on how to increase the space and aerospace content of undergraduate university and college offerings. Proposed projects should have an emphasis on space sciences, aerospace engineering, or any other space-related discipline or interdisciplinary STEM field; and align with the NASA Mission Directorates. WSGC affiliate member universities or colleges are eligible. Industry, nonprofit associations, and nonmembers can propose programs and work jointly with one of our academic members, providing the educational activity occurs at a member campus. Students funded through this grant must be U.S. citizens. The Consortium especially encourages applications from women, underrepresented communities and persons with disabilities. The proposal should include the introduction or summary; background; proposed activities; evaluation plan; timeline or schedule; budget or use of funds; and a CV or personnel. This grant only allows one principal investigator to be listed on the application. Please visit the award's website for more information.
