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 in the web site.
  • The fellow must be a full-time student at Seton Hall University. A faculty member in Seton Hall University has to agree to supervise the research of the fellow.
  • Seton Hall University has three fellowships to award in 2024-25 academic year. The fellowship amount is $2,000 per student.
  • The fellowship amount is only for the stipend of the student.

  • 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 that they have conducted after the conclusion of the project.
  • NJSGC must be properly acknowledged in any publication, presentation, or poster session involving the research.
