NASA Guam Space Grant

Håfa Adai!

The NASA Guam Space Grant (NGSG) program is our island's local connection to NASA and the universe beyond. As a proud affiliate of the University of Hawai’i Space Grant Consortium (HSGC), which participates in the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, NGSG promotes studies in areas concerned with the understanding, utilization, exploration, and investigation of both space and the Earth from space.

Our program offers educational opportunities for University of Guam undergraduates and graduates by awarding Space Grant Fellowships in fields that are relevant to NASA's goals. Two paths, research assistantship or teacher assistantship, are offered to applicants depending on their graduate status, skill, knowledge level, and time commitment of the student.

Research areas are focused on the fields of engineering, geology, biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, oceanography, mathematics, computer science, medicine, education, and other discipline.

Our Goals

A significant goal of the NASA Guam Space Grant program is to encourage interdisciplinary studies and research and to train future generations of space scientists and engineers.

Fields relevant to NASA’s goals are mainly those in science, technology, and education focused on understanding the Earth, exploring the Solar System and the universe beyond, creating more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly air
transportation systems, inspiring students to pursue careers in science, mathematics, engineering, and technology, and engaging the public in shaping and sharing the experience of exploration and discovery.

You can become a NASA Intern!

Calling all students! NASA has exciting opportunities to jumpstart your career through NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement Internship Program.⁣ You can be the next NASA intern! ⁣⁣

Online? Don't worry! NASA Interns will continue to work virtually for the summer 2021 session. Throughout the year, thousands of student interns contribute to NASA's missions of human spaceflight, aeronautics, space science and Earth research. This summer's interns will continue to contribute, only they will do it virtually. While interns cannot be on-site physically due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they can work from home and get the professional experience they desire.

NASA interns use their creativity and innovation to work on projects that impact NASA’s mission, like sending the first woman and next man to the Moon with NASA Artemis. Be part of an amazing virtual team while contributing to NASA missions.

Learn more at www.intern.nasa.gov. Proposals to apply for an internship at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are due on April 1, 2021 (ChST). Please let us know if you apply for an internship!
