A part of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program since 1990, the ISGC continually strives to improve and inspire Iowa’s future in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The ISGC supports aerospace research, education and outreach activities for all Iowans with NASA internships, fellowships, and scholarships, competitions for grants within higher education members (with NASA Mission Directorate alignment), as well as informal education grants with outreach affiliates. With the help of six universities across the state, as well as a number of private industry, educational and government organizations, and science museums, ISGC is able to carry out its goals. Funding from the ISGC for grants and projects is allocated through our affiliates.
