NASA ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR AERONAUTICS SCHOLARSHIPS

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is
accepting scholarship applications from graduate and undergraduate
students for the 2013-2014 academic year. The application deadline is
Jan. 14, 2013.

NASA expects to award 20 undergraduate and five graduate scholarships
to students in an aeronautical engineering program or related field.
Undergraduate students who have at least two years of study remaining
will receive up to $15,000 per year for two years and the opportunity
to receive a $10,000 stipend by interning at a NASA research center
during the summer.

Graduate students will receive a $35,000 stipend per year and $11,000
for educational expenses for up to three years, with an opportunity
to receive a $10,000 stipend interning at a NASA research center for
up to two consecutive summers. Graduate students also must apply
under a specific research topic to align with NASA's aeronautics
research programs.

Students not committed to a specific academic institution or program
still may apply. If accepted, they must be admitted by fall 2013 into
an aeronautical engineering program or related field of study at an
accredited U.S. university. Applicants must be U.S. citizens.
Scholarship money may be used for tuition and other school-related
expenses.

NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate conducts cutting-edge,
fundamental and integrated systems research in traditional and
emerging disciplines. The intent is to help transform the nation's
air transportation system and support development of future air and
space vehicles. The directorate's goals include improving airspace
capacity and flexibility, aviation safety, and aircraft performance,
as well as minimizing the environmental footprint of aviation by
reducing overall noise, engine emissions and fuel usage.
