NASA Academy Award Recipients

NASA Academy is a program for students of junior, senior, or early graduate levels. The intent of this program is to give the selected students a working knowledge of NASA and its programs. The Academy accomplishes this through interactive sessions with leaders within government, industry, and academia and research in NASA's laboratories. The students will discover how NASA and its Field Centers operate, understand the NASA link to the private sector, gain experience in world-class laboratories, participate in a team environment where people work together to accomplish common goals, and build professional bonds among our future leaders.

The Academy consists of competitively selected university level students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. These students work on research projects at a specific NASA Field Center under the direction of some of the most innovative scientists and engineers working for NASA. This technical work for each student is arranged in advance, by matching student interests and skills to project requirements, as identified by the student and the researcher. Students also participate in seminars and discussions with government and business leaders and managers on space-related topics. Program elements are divided between research, tours, and seminars. Each Center focuses on a different NASA-related research and specialty. WSGC is pleased to announce and congratulate the following students on their NASA Academy Awards:
