About this Fellowship
8-week summer research opportunity for rising seniors in STEM fields who are interested in airborne science. Participants will have access to NASA Airborne Science Program flying science laboratories.
Held annually on the East and West coasts of the United States, NASA SARP helps students gain hands-on research experience in all aspects of a scientific campaign by engaging in field research and data analysis, with access to one or more NASA Airborne Science Program flying science laboratories.
Students will not only participate in airborne data collection, but also take measurements at field sites. Using data from the campaign and NASA's extensive archive, they will design, implement, and present their own independent research projects. Throughout the process, students are supported by a team of faculty and graduate mentors who guide them as they develop their research skills. The program concludes with a 12-minute scientific presentation, where students share the results of their research.
52 students are selected to participate annually. Applicants need to have a strong background in STEM and an interest in applying this knowledge to Earth science.
Award Value
Participants receive a stipend, travel allowance, free housing and local transportation throughout the 8-week program.
