Please read the following message before completing your research funding request:
This is the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium's application form for requesting funds to conduct independent research. All funds are distributed on a competitive basis and released depending on the current fiscal year's budget. The maximum award for each individual is $1,000.
Mini-grants are available for undergraduate and graduate students who are completing STEM- or NASA-relevant research that directly affects their thesis or dissertation and are enrolled in a NDSGC affiliate school. Students must have a GPA of 3.0 or above and be U.S. Citizens. Mini-grants will be awarded each semester and may include materials funding. All funds will be distributed on a competitive basis and released depending on the current fiscal year's budget. The maximum award for each individual is $1,000. Students requiring only travel expenses are encouraged to consider the NDSGC Travel Grants. Students who have already completed research through the NDSGC (having earned a fellowship, mini-grant, or internship) are eligible to apply for the NDSGC to cover publication fees under this program.
Students: In the form, you will need to request a "statement of support" from your faculty advisor/mentor. This is NOT a letter of recommendation, but instead, a 1-2 sentence endorsement letting us know your advisor is aware and supports your requests. Please give your advisor advance notice. Please contact us if you have any questions about this.

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.

This is the North Dakota Space Grant Consortium's application form for awarding NASA Internship and Industry Internship funding. This application will close following our application deadlines.
Depending on how your institution or NASA internship funds you, taxes may be taken out.
For prospective Industry Interns only:
The NDSGC encourages you to reach out to our team to discuss your individual situation. All students must fill out this Submittable form to be considered for internship funding. Students pursuing an industry internship do not have to complete the steps outlined below for the NASA internships (which are hosted by NASA Centers). Please contact the NDSGC team if you have any questions.
For prospective NASA interns only:
STEP ONE: You must have already filled out an application at intern.nasa.gov. (Click the link to start your application)
STEP TWO: Fill out this Submittable form. After you fill out your NASA application, the NDSGC will be able to review all North Dakota-based student applications.
Summer Awards: We competitively select 6-8 ND students each summer (dependent on funding) to support. After selecting students internally, we will reach out to each NASA center's intern office and advocate for you. This does not guarantee you an internship; this makes your application more appealing to the center, as you would come with an existing funding source. Over the summer internship session, undergraduates will receive a stipend of $7,300; graduates will receive $9,000. Students will also receive a $500 travel stipend for in-person appointments.
Fall and Spring Awards: the number of awards will vary by availability in the budget. Funding will be more competitive in the fall and spring because we dedicate the majority for summer applications.
We encourage everyone to apply to up to 15 positions, as NASA allows. Please let us know if you have any questions at the email addresses below.
NASA selects interns on a first-come-first-serve basis, so you may be contacted by a NASA mentor without us knowing. If this happens, please keep us updated as soon as possible so we can open up your potential slot to a different ND student.
STEP 3: You will be able to edit this application at all times! Maintain your "top positions and centers" list to help us advocate for your top choices. Click the "edit submission" link at any time to make these updates.
For all students:
Application Deadlines:
- Summer session: February 1st
- Fall session: July 1st
- Spring session: November 15th

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.
