NASA California Space Grant Consortium

The California Space Grant Consortium (CaSGC) is California’s implementation arm of NASA’s National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program. It meets program objectives through a wide variety of aerospace-related activities that target pre-college to university level education and learning, research, workforce development, and public outreach. The CaSGC is comprised of colleges, universities, businesses, and other private and public sector institutions – all working to further aerospace education and career training through: Supporting student scholarships, fellowships, and traineeships for aerospace-related education; Providing support to faculty and students to develop career skills in aerospace-related fields (science, engineering, business, and education); Offering experiential learning opportunities aligned with NASA Mission Directorates (http://www.nasa.gov/) Stimulating public interest in aerospace-related disciplines and lifelong learning through community partnerships, thus increasing public appreciation for the direct and indirect benefits of the U.S. space program
