Subject: Call for 2022 Astronaut Scholarship Nominations
Date: January 25, 2022 at 9:20:06 PM EST


I am pleased to circulate this year’s call for nominations for Astronaut Scholarship nominations.
Please circulate this to your faculty and request that they nominate top students to apply. It is OK to let students know about this as well. Students must be nominated by faculty, but it is OK for interested students to ask a faculty member to nominate them.

Astronaut Scholarships provide $15,000/year on a need-blind basis.

Please have all application material sent to me by Friday 4 March. Selection is by a two-step process, with notifications in late March for Phase 1 and late May for the final selection.

The selection criteria and application requirements are as follows:

NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS

  *   •  Must be attending an ASF affiliated university, college, or institution
  *   •  Must be nominated by faculty
  *   •  Must be a STEM major going into junior or senior year
  *   •  Must be a United States citizen (proof of birthright or naturalization via birth certificate, naturalization papers, or passport)
  *   •  Must be a high performing academic achiever
  *   •  Must have conducted a considerable amount of work outside the classroom in their chosen field of study. This may include laboratory research, cooperative education, internships, relevant military experience, entrepreneurial endeavors, and/or documented independent work resulting in technical papers, patents, or similar work product
  *   •  Must be a full-time student during academic year scholarship is applicable
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Nomination package must include:
o proof of  US citizenship
o personal statement (one page)

I look forward to receiving nominations from your department.

Best wishes,
Jeff Hoffman
