Fellowships at the McDonnell Center

Graduate students interested in the Space Sciences should apply to one of the following departments:

                                 Physics

                                 Earth and Planetary Sciences

                                 Electrical Engineering

Physics graduate students often consult with their professors, as here in the office of Professor Wai-Mo Suen

Fellowship recipients Ann Nguyen and Surdas Mohit discuss the Tharsis region of Mars.

The Center supports fellowships for graduate students in the space sciences. The Roger B. Chaffee, Virgil I. Grissom, and Edward H. White II Fellowships are three-year awards established in memory of the three astronauts who lost their lives in preparation for our first lunar landing. Additional three-year McDonnell Center Graduate Fellowships are also available. All of these Center fellowships provide full tuition and substantial stipends. In addition, many graduate students receive stipends from federal research funds that provide for research fellowships or assistantships.
