VSGC Undergraduate STEM Research Scholarship 2026

The VSGC Undergraduate STEM Research Scholarship 2026 offers a structured, faculty-mentored research opportunity for rising junior and senior undergraduate STEM students. It provides combined stipends and research funding to support both academic-year and summer research, with the aim of aligning projects with NASA-related missions. Recipients gain hands-on research experience, potential presentation opportunities, and early academic recognition to strengthen graduate school and fellowship applications.

Stipends for academic year and summer research, research funding allocations, opportunity to conduct NASA-relevant, faculty-mentored research, and a platform to present findings at the VSGC Annual Student Research Conference.

Applicants must be US citizens, enrolled full-time in a STEM degree program, and rising juniors or seniors (or reach junior status by summer). They must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and be studying at a VSGC member institution, proposing a faculty-mentored project aligned with NASA’s mission.
