$74,000 per year, will coincide with the start of the 2015 fall academic term.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Applications will be accepted from students pursuing or planning to pursue master's or doctorate degrees in relevant space technology disciplines at accredited
U.S. universities. The grants will sponsor U.S. graduate student researchers who show significant potential to contribute to NASA's strategic space technology objectives through their studies. To date, NASA has awarded grants to 247 student researchers from
79 universities located in 35 states and one U.S. territory.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">"One of the most important challenges to our continued leadership and advancement of space technology is the assurance that we harness the innovation
and technology capabilities from our American universities," said Michael Gazarik, associate administrator for Space Technology at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "These grants provide one vehicle to tap into the enormous talents of graduate students working
at universities to advance the development of future space technologies."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="line-height:18.45pt"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Sponsored by NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate, the fellowships are improving America’s technological competitiveness by providing the nation
