Background

The New Jersey Space Grant Consortium was established in 1991 by a grant from NASA. The objectives of the consortium are to develop programs to further aerospace and STEM education, research, and development in New Jersey. For the 2025-26 academic year, NJSGC has awarded Seton Hall University four Academic Year Student Research Fellowships to administer.

Fellowship details

  • The fellowship recipient must conduct research relevant to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) or aerospace and fit into one of NASA’s missions as outlined on the website.
  • The fellow must be a full-time student at Seton Hall University. A faculty member in Seton Hall must agree to supervise the research of the fellow.
  • Seton Hall University has three fellowships to award in the 2025-26 academic year. The fellowship amount is $2,000 per student.
  • The fellowship amount is only for the stipend of the student.
  • By NASA mandate, only U.S. citizens are eligible.

  • Interested students should submit their application (click here).
  • The application should include the completed application form and a one-page research project description from the student with the approval of a faculty supervisor for the project.
  • Applications will be reviewed by a committee formed by the faculty of the science departments at Seton Hall.

Award procedures and requirements

  • Each fellowship recipient is required to write a 1,000-word report outlining the research they have conducted after the conclusion of the project.
  • NJSGC must be properly acknowledged in any publication, presentation, or poster session involving the research.
