The Space Grant Fellowship Program provides a prestigious instrument to reward and attract the best and the brightest of US citizens to space-related careers. The program is also designed to enhance cooperation among FSGC-affiliated university faculty and peers in industry, government and private laboratories. Accordingly, each Fellow will receive an Academic Year fellowship stipend of $20,000 for full-time doctoral study, renewable for 2 additional years or $12,000 for full time Master's study, renewable for 1 additional year.

Florida Space Grant Fellows are expected to be involved in FSGC outreach activities. These activities will differ from campus to campus and a specific assignment will be made after consultation with the FSGC representative at that institute.

Eligible Fields: All nominees shall be enrolled in masters or doctoral programs with the intent of pursuing "space" research broadly defined to include aeronautics and astronautics, remote sensing, atmospheric sciences, and other fundamental sciences and technologies relying on and/or directly impacting space technological resources. Included within this definition are space science, earth observing science, space life sciences, space medicine, space policy, law, and engineering, astronomy and astrophysics, space facilities and applications, and space education.

The FSGC is working closely with Kennedy Space Center (KSC), as KSC moves its focus to becoming a Spaceport Technology Center. The center is very interested in supporting research relevant to their mission, including making available some of the KSC facilities on a “non-interference” basis. KSC is focusing on 6 Spaceport and Range Technology and Science Thrust Areas. They are:

1. Fluid System Technologies
2. Spaceport Structures and Materials
3. Process and Human factors Engineering
4. Command, Control and Monitoring Technologies
5. Range Technologies
6. Biological Sciences

In addition, KSC has identified 12 research projects that need immediate attention. A list of these projects and a brief description can be found from the following web site. KSC Thrust Areas
