NASA ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR AERONAUTICS SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

WASHINGTON -- NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate will
begin accepting scholarship applications on Sept. 1, 2009, for the
2010 academic year. The application deadline is Jan. 11, 2010.

"These scholarships are a fantastic way to support our brightest
students and encourage them to finish their education, expose them to
NASA's research programs and inspire them to pursue a career in
aeronautics," said Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for the
Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in
Washington.

NASA expects to award 20 undergraduate and five graduate scholarships
to students in aeronautics or related fields. Undergraduate students
entering their second year of study will receive up to $15,000 per
year for two years and the opportunity to receive a $10,000 stipend
by interning at a NASA research center during the summer. Graduate
students will receive up to $35,000 per annually for up to three
years, with an opportunity to receive a $10,000 stipend interning at
a NASA research center up to two consecutive summers.

Students who have not committed to a specific academic institution or
program still may apply. However, if accepted, they must be admitted
by fall 2010 into a suitable aeronautical engineering program or
related field of study at an accredited U.S. university. All
applicants must be U.S. citizens. Scholarship money may be used for
tuition and other school-related expenses.

NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate conducts cutting-edge,
fundamental research in traditional and emerging disciplines. The
intent is to help transform the nation's air transportation system
and to support development of future air and space vehicles. Goals
include improving airspace capacity and flexibility; aviation safety
and aircraft performance; reducing overall noise, engine emissions
and fuel usage.
