NASA-MUST: Driving the STEM Agenda
Abdul-Alim, Jamaal
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, v28 n25 p13-14 Jan 2012
This article discusses the NASA-MUST (Motivating Undergraduates in Science and Technology) program which annually serves 115 students from diverse backgrounds. The program is in its sixth year. While the program is open to all students, a special emphasis is placed on those from groups that are underrepresented in STEM fields. Participating students who get at least a 3.0 GPA and pursue a degree in a STEM field are eligible for scholarships that cover half their tuition up to $10,000. They also are placed in 10-week summer internships at one of NASA's centers. The internships pay $6,000. Beyond the scholarships and internships, NASA-MUST students receive academic and social support and networking opportunities with astronauts and other NASA employees.
