Travel Grant Application
Students may apply for both in-person events (you must be actively participating) and/or virtual events (you can be passively engaged as an audience member).
Please read:
The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) will sponsor North Dakota students (undergraduate and graduate students) to travel to a domestic conference, hands-on workshop, or other academic or professional development event pre-approved by the NDSGC. Students can receive awards of up to $1,000. Travel grant applications are due at least six weeks prior to the conference or workshop that is being attended. If a travel grant is awarded, travel and funding arrangements must be made at least two weeks prior to the conference or workshop being attended. Travel grant funding is awarded competitively and all applications are assessed individually. Students are allowed to submit one travel grant application per semester until they have a meritorious submission.
All travel grant recipients must submit a post-event report (you will receive a Submittable form from the NDSGC team) and upload an image of them attending their event. The NDSGC will use this information in the annual reporting back to NASA. Once a post-event report has been submitted and all funds disbursed, the travel grant will be closed.
If the NDSGC does not purchase airfare and hotel and the reimbursement route is taken, please carefully read the following: Travelers are to pay for their own travel, only. When traveling with more than one person each traveler is expected to pay for themselves, they will request their own reimbursement with their own set of receipts. This may require travelers to split payments and will result in receipts listing more than one method of payment.
International travel CANNOT be funded by the NDSGC, as per NASA guidelines.

The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) is committed to providing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) support to students across the state of North Dakota. Our At-Home STEM Kits allow students to conduct a simple STEM activity wherever they live, with adult supervision. All kits are free and require minimal supplies. Please complete the form below if you would like an At-Home STEM Kit to be mailed to a North Dakota address.
The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium is not responsible for any harm or damage that may result from interaction with the At-Home STEM Kit's directions and/or supplies.
An adult must be present and supervise any student(s) while they interact with the At-Home STEM Kit's directions and/or supplies.
Kits to choose from:
-Hologram Illusion Projector Kit: Middle and High School Students. Items included in kit: lesson & directions, frustum cutout, tape, NASA sticker, NASA temporary tattoo. (Items not included but needed for project: cellphone with video, scissors.)
-Build a Carbon Atom Kit: Elementary (5th-6th) and Middle School Students. Items included in kit: lesson & directions, Styrofoam balls, string, paperclip, pipe cleaners, NASA sticker, NASA temporary tattoo. (Items not included but needed for project: glue, paint & paintbrush OR markers.)
-Payload and Parachute Kit: Elementary (1st-4th) School Students. Items included in kit: lesson & directions, string, paperclip, Styrofoam block, Ziplock bag, NASA sticker, NASA temporary tattoo. (Items not included but needed for project: tape.)
*One kit per family; each form will request only one kit.
*Kit distribution based on supply availability: first come, first served.
If you are a teacher looking for STEM supplies for your classroom, please submit an Educator Mini-Grant application. More information on Educator Mini-Grants can be found here.

To promote Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) across North Dakota, the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium (NDSGC) established the STEM Ambassador program. STEM Ambassadors are undergraduate and graduate STEM students that conduct hands-on activities with North Dakota students, families, and communities.
Please complete this form if you would like to have a STEM Ambassador chat with your K-12 classroom. The goal of these visits is to encourage communication and cultivate curiosity in the fields of STEM.
Note:
- Teachers must submit at least 7 questions for the STEM Ambassadors to answer and discuss during their visit, we want our STEM Ambassadors to be prepared for classroom conversation.
- Having our STEM Ambassador conduct a hands-on STEM activity is an option.
- All visits are dependent on STEM Ambassador availability.
If you have a vision for how you want a STEM Ambassador visit to happen, let us know!
NDSGC will contact you, after your submission, to set a time and date for the visit. Please allow up to 3 weeks for all arrangements to be made.
Would your student or class like to have a STEM pen pal?
The North Dakota Space Grant Consortium STEM Pal program allows students to submit a letter to a STEM Ambassador. The goal of STEM Pals is to encourage communication and cultivate curiosity in the fields of STEM. "Letters" can be in the form of a paper letter, an email, a voice memo, or a hand-drawn picture. Students can ask a STEM Ambassador any questions they may have about Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, or college life as a STEM student.
Please fill out the form below to begin correspondence.
