ACADEMIC
YEAR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM
The Academic Year Undergraduate
Program (AYUP) is designed to provide opportunities for students
from throughout Florida (and from Puerto Rico and historically
black institutions in neighboring states) to become actively
involved in ongoing research programs. The program is intended
to enhance student interest in graduate study and careers
in a wide variety of space-related areas.
Faculty researchers from
FSGC-affiliated universities and researchers from industry
may propose to mentor undergraduate students during the Academic
Year. Students from FSGC-affiliated universities, historically
black southeastern universities, and Puerto Rican universities
may apply to work on research projects under FSGC mentors
