Connecticut Space Grant College Consortium
The University’s commitment to engineering and technology excellence is apparent as visitors enter the Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology complex and note the office of the Connecticut Space Grant College Consortium. The Space Grant leadership is located in the College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture. The partnership between the University of Hartford (lead institution); Central, Eastern, and Southern Connecticut State universities; Fairfield, Wesleyan, and Yale universities; Trinity College; the universities of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and New Haven; University of Connecticut Health Center; and the Connecticut College of Technology seek to further NASA’s goals of increasing understanding, evaluation, development, and utilization of space resources.
Fellowships and grants are available to U.S. Citizens who are undergraduate and graduate students and faculty at participating institutions. Research enhancement activities include faculty forums, participation in design competitions, and access to NASA mentors at research and flight centers around the country. Public outreach programs target the involvement of traditionally underrepresented groups in science, engineering, and technology careers.
