This program provides financial support through competitively awarded fellowships to Masters and Doctoral students pursuing degrees in one of the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) at OSGC universities. Awards to Master's students are for $16,000 plus tuition for a calendar year; these may be extended for an additional six-month period. Awards to Doctoral students are for $20,000 plus tuition for a calendar year; these may be extended for an additional two years. Applications may be obtained from the OSGC office at each member university and are due by February 1 of each year. Awardees are required to participate in university research projects and present results at the annual OSGC Research Symposium.

Special Minority Fellowship

The Ohio Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) is strongly committed to student diversity in its undergraduate scholarship and graduate fellowship programs. In order to increase the number underrepresented students engaged in the graduate fellowship program, OSGC, instituted the Minority Fellowship Program Award.

The award is to be offered on an annual basis. Awards to Master's students are for $16,000 plus tuition for a calendar year; these may be extended for an additional six-month period. Awards to Doctoral students are for $20,000 plus tuition for a calendar year; these may be extended for an additional two years.

The fellowship is to be awarded for pursuit of a Master's or Doctoral degree in one of the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics), and can be used at any of the OSGC universities that offer graduate degrees in those disciplines. Eligible students are underrepresented-underserved minority seniors who are holders of undergraduate OSGC scholarships at any of the OSGC universities.

The fellowship award winner will attend the OSGC Annual Student Research Symposium and make a brief presentation of his/her graduate research each year over the duration of his/her graduate work.
