Mississippi Space Grant Awards Scholarships to USM
To advance research and opportunities for students, the College of Arts and Sciences at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) awarded 27 scholarships through the NASA-Mississippi Space Grant Consortium (MSSGC) program.
This state-wide initiative aims to ignite students’ passion for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) disciplines while equipping them with the resources and support needed to excel in their academic journey. The scholarships foster academic excellence and empower students by increasing awareness of NASA employment and research opportunities for those pursuing related majors at USM.
“I consider myself fortunate to serve as the Southern Miss coordinator for the NASA-Mississippi Space Grant Consortium,” said Dr. David Cochran, associate dean for Research and Graduate Education in the College of Arts and Sciences. “It’s an honor to be able to participate in a nationwide NASA initiative that promotes STEM and space education and provides funding to some of our most deserving students.”
