The Computational Science Research Center at SDSU was recently awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to provide scholarships to undergraduate students in science and engineering to engage them in computational research projects. This NSF-SDSU STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) will provide yearly scholarships up to $5000 for juniors entering the program and $6000 for seniors who continue participating in the program during the second year. The goal of this scholarship is to assist academically talented, financially needy students to explore opportunities for computational modeling and simulation research in science and engineering disciplines. This year we plan to award 30 scholarships to science and engineering students who are in the junior or senior years and are interested in future graduate studies.

Participation in this scholarship program will provide students the opportunity to join a research lab and get trained to use and develop computational tools in their respective disciplines. Participants get to contribute to ongoing research projects, while acquiring essential skills that can make them high qualified attractive candidates for future research careers in academia, national labs and industry. Students participating in the NSF-SDSU STEM Scholars Program also will get career development counselling, assistance in developing a portfolio to apply to graduate programs, help in locating and applying for national scholarships and internships in government labs.

To qualify, students must be U. S. citizens or permanent residents, must meet the criterion of financial need as determined by the U.S. Department of Education, must be juniors or seniors in science or engineering disciplines, have a GPA of 3.0 or better.

One of these educational programs is the HENAAC Scholars Program. Since its inception nine years ago, the HENAAC Scholars Program has experienced tremendous growth and has awarded over a million and a half dollars in educational grants to over 1,000 deserving recipients. These awards were made possible through the generous support of our outstanding scholarship partners including 2009 sponsors Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, NASA, Rockwell Collins, Southern California Edison, the Boeing Company, Raytheon, bp, SAIC, Cummins and Verizon.

The goal of our program is to ensure college retention with a 3.0 grade point average or higher; to guarantee college graduation with an undergraduate technical degree in four-five years; and, to contribute to Hispanic communities by producing role models for future generations and securing the country’s place as the finest technological leader in the world.

To qualify for a scholarship, applicants must be full time college students majoring in STEM with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or higher and active in the Hispanic community. In addition to their scholarship, awardees will receive a complimentary student registration package to the 22nd Annual HENAAC Conference and Awards Show which will take place October 7-9 at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort located in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. This package includes lodging, travel support and the scholarship check presented to them by their sponsor at the HENAAC Student Leadership Dinner. The scholarship application is now available on the Great Minds in STEM website. The postmark deadline is April 30, 2010.

At Great Minds in STEM, we realize that students have limited resources to attend Conferences and other beneficial networking events. It is for that reason that we offer travel support for college students (in a variety of disciplines related to STEM) interested in receiving travel funding to attend the HENAAC Conference. We are once again prepared to grant over $150,000 in travel and conference registration sponsorships to qualifying individuals. Individual applications and additional information will be available on the Great Minds in STEM website in March 2010.

I would like to ask that you encourage any qualifying individuals to take advantage of these outstanding opportunities.

Visit our website – http://www.greatmindsinstem.com to obtain the necessary applications. If additional information is needed, I can be reached at (323) 262-0997 or kbbarrera@greatmindsinstem.org.

This call for graduate fellowship proposals, entitled NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship Program — 2010/2011 Academic Year, solicits applications from accredited U.S. universities on behalf of individuals pursuing master’s or doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in Earth and space sciences, or related disciplines. The purpose of NESSF is to ensure continued training of a highly qualified workforce in disciplines needed to achieve NASA’s scientific goals. Awards resulting from the competitive selection will be training grants to the respective universities, with the advisor serving as the principal investigator. The financial support for the NESSF program comes from the Science Mission Directorate’s four science divisions: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science and Astrophysics.

NESSF awards are made initially for one year. They may be renewed for no more than two additional years, contingent upon satisfactory progress (as reflected in academic performance, research progress and recommendation by the faculty advisor) and the availability of funds. The three-year period is the maximum length a student may receive support from the NESSF program in pursuing a master’s or Ph.D.

The maximum amount of a NESSF award is $30,000 per year.

Proposals for this opportunity are due Feb. 1, 2010.
