Mini-Grants in STEM Enhancement
The Mississippi Space Grant Consortium (MSSGC) solicits ongoing proposals for Mini-Grants in STEM Enhancement, which seeks to enhance K-12 STEM programs through hands-on experience, experiential learning, curriculum development, educational opportunities, or other STEM-related activities. Awarded funds must not be used for purchasing equipment or providing direct support to K-12 students. Proposers can be teachers/faculty/staff of any accredited educational institution in the state of Mississippi. Partnerships that ensure long-term impact are highly encouraged.
Student Led STEM Activities
The Mississippi Space Grant Consortium (MSSGC) Student Led STEM Activities program is open to undergraduate student teams who are participating in a design/competition that has NASA relevance. The team must have a faculty sponsor, and the funds can only be used for U.S. citizens (non-US citizens can still participate if their support is provided by the faculty sponsor from some other source of funds). Eligibility is not limited to science and engineering majors.
