Alaska Space Grant Program
Fellowships
The fellowship program represents the backbone of ASGP and the largest single allocation within the ASGP budget. All fellowships are service-based awards to students who work on aerospace-related projects. The amount of each award is dependent on the scope of the project and the level of responsibility assumed by the student. We strive to award fellowships for projects that not only provide a professional development opportunity for the student, but also develop the aerospace capabilities within Alaska or contribute to other ASGP strategic goals. In fact, we depend on student involvement to carry out many of the ASGP activities.
ASGP fellowships are awarded through a variety of Fellowship, Scholarship, and Internship programs coordinated by the lead institution and the academic program.

Lunar and Planetary Institute's Summer Intern Program in Planetary Science
The Lunar and Planetary Institute invites undergraduates with at least 50 semester hours of college credit to experience cutting-edge research in the planetary sciences. December 2006 graduates and 2007 spring semester graduates are also eligible. Summer interns work one-on-one with scientists at the LPI or at NASA's Johnson Space Center on a research project of current interest in planetary science. Areas of research include lunar sample analysis, planetary geology, astrobiology, and image processing.
This 10-week program runs from June 4, 2007, to August 10, 2007. Selection is based on these criteria: (1) scholarship, curriculum and experience; (2) career objectives and scientific interest; and (3) match of interest of applicant with available research projects.
The application deadline is Feb. 1, 2007.
