This fellowship opportunity, up to $84,000 per year, will coincide with the start of the 2023 academic year; up to four years of support are possible for doctoral students. In addition to providing a $40,000 annual stipend, the grant provides support for tuition, health insurance, conference attendance, and the faculty advisor. The grant also provides support for on-site tenure at NASA centers across the country.
