Motivating Undergraduates in Science and Technology (MUST)
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is sponsoring the MUST Project which awards scholarships and internships to undergraduates pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, fields. The MUST Project is open to all students and is particularly focused on engaging students from underserved and underrepresented groups to enter STEM fields.

The MUST Project supports 100 undergraduate students with a one-year competitive scholarship of up to one-half of tuition and fees, not to exceed $10,000. Students who maintain the required minimum grade point average will be eligible for a paid internship at a NASA center. Additionally, students will benefit from an online community, professional development and leadership training.

Eligibility:
-- Must be a U.S. citizen

-- Reside in the United States or U.S. Territory
-- Be a rising freshman, sophomore or junior and hold full-time academic status at an accredited college or university for the 2009-2010 academic year
-- Minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale
-- Pursue a STEM discipline aligned with NASA core competencies

Application Information:

The application period for the 4th cohort of MUST scholars will open on November 1, 2008 and will close on February 1, 2009
