The Astronaut Scholarship was created in 1984 to aid the United
States in retaining worldleadership in science and technology by
providing scholarships to the very best and brightest
collegestudents pursuing these degrees. Universities must be
invited to participate in the Astronaut Scholar-ship program;
Clemson has been participating since 2010. The scholarship covers
expenses for tui-tion, fees, books, and room and board in the
amount of $10,000 annually, and opens doors of oppor-tunity for the
recipients in admissions to top graduate programs and success in
obtaining NSF grantsfor graduate study and research.
Clemson must nominate two students for the Astronaut
Scholarship. If you are majoringin Mathematics, the Sciences, and
Engineering, are a current sophomore or junior who will graduate
nosooner than May 2016 but no later than May 2017, have a GPA of
3.8 or above, have significant re-search experience, and are a U.S.
citizen, you should consider applying.
Application packages consist of: a one-page statement by the
nominee discussing his/her personal in-terests, activities, and
career goals; a resume; and 2 letters of recommendation from
Clemson facultymembers. Application packages may be emailed or
delivered to me. The application deadline is January23, 2015 and a
faculty committee will select Clemsons nominees in early
February.
Please note: Astronaut Scholarships are not awarded for
pre-medical studies, so clinical research isnot considered in the
research selection criteria. However, biomedical research
isincluded.

theAstronaut Scholarship or any major fellowship program, please do
