Updated Information Regarding the 2013 Harriett G. Jenkins Predoctoral Fellowship
Audience: Higher Education Students
Abstract Submission Deadline: Aug. 9, 2013

NASA's Office of Education is accepting applications for graduate fellows for fall 2013 as a part of the NASA Harriett G. Jenkins Graduate Fellowship Program. Since 2001, this activity has supported 211 students as they obtained Masters and Doctoral degrees. The graduate fellowship seeks to support the development of the future STEM workforce through the increased number of graduate degrees awarded to underrepresented and underserved persons (women, minorities and persons with disabilities) in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The goal is to address the agency's mission-specific workforce needs and target areas of national need in minority STEM representation. The fellowship award includes tuition offset, student stipend and NASA center research opportunities up to $45,000. Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Abstract submissions are due August 9, 2013 and invited full proposals are due September 3, 2013.

Applications should be submitted through the NASA One Stop Shopping Initiative at http://go.nasa.gov/16OBq5A. Applicants should be sure to select “fellowship” for the type of application.
