Six Auburn University students have been selected to receive Undergraduate Scholarships and Graduate Fellowships from the NASA Alabama Space Grant Consortium (ASGC), a competitive program that supports students pursuing careers in aerospace, engineering and STEM research. The ASGC program strengthens NASA’s future workforce by recognizing academic excellence, research potential and a commitment to community outreach across Alabama.
The scholarships support students whose academic achievements, research interests and outreach efforts align with NASA’s mission. Through the Alabama Space Grant Consortium, recipients gain financial support, professional development opportunities and access to NASA-affiliated research and mentorship programs designed to prepare the next generation of aerospace and STEM leaders. Undergraduate scholars receive a $1,500 award, while graduate fellows receive a $38,000 award to include a student stipend, tuition/insurance and travel allowance, providing significant support for students pursuing advanced research connected to NASA’s priorities.
This year’s recipients from the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering include undergraduate scholars Jordan Geidel, Addisyn “Addie” Kriger, Eirik Mulder and Amanda Vogel, as well as graduate fellows Paxton Albright and Ashton Shannon, representing a range of engineering disciplines and research interests connected to NASA’s mission.
