Mississippi Space Grant Awards Pearl River Community College STEM Student Stipends

Five Pearl River Community College students have been selected to receive the Mississippi Space Grant Consortium (MSSGC) STEM Student Stipend Award for 2024.

Applicants were selected based on their work completed in the STEM Club as an active member, their coursework at PRCC, service to school & community and recommendations by instructors. Each student received $750 which can be used to benefit and continue their education.

This year’s honorees are Noah Bowman, Brennin Carlisle, Mason Holladay, Destiny Taylor and Sydney Thornton.

“Since 1993, PRCC has actively participated in this statewide non-profit organization, backed by NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement, which originally funded community colleges for this program,” said Melinda Miller, PRCC Space Grant (MSSGC) Coordinator and Instructor of Biology, Human A&P, and Forensics. “We extend our gratitude to PRCC administration, NASA’s Space Grant in Mississippi, and the Office of STEM Engagement for their invaluable support in achieving program objectives.”

“We extend our congratulations to these deserving STEM students and look forward to their accomplishments as they move throughout their academic career paths.”
