The Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium or what we typically refer to as “Space Grant” is funded through NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement. Space Grant has existed since 1989 and is based at UW Seattle but serves students and educators around the state in partner institutions and organizations. Since 2021, Space Grant has been housed in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics in the College of Engineering.
The mission of the Washington NASA Space Grant Consortium is to enhance higher education opportunities for students seeking to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, Engineering and math (STEM); to enrich and improve STEM Education at Washington’s diverse pre-college, college, university and community learning centers; and to provide public outreach for NASA missions, and thereby strengthen the future workforce for NASA and our nation.
