Dear Fellow Alumni,
Welcome to the 30th anniversary year of NASA Academy! What better way to celebrate than offering our the Soffen Fund Travel Grant for the 21st year! Our 2022 Soffen Fund Travel Grant recipients all enjoyed successful conferences, and now the Spring 2023 Travel Grant application is up and running. We once again are grateful for the unyielding generosity of alumnus Johnny Erickson and Lux Consulting in hosting our website and application. Please forward (or tweet or post or share) the announcement below to your departments, your employers, your internship programs, and anywhere there are deserving students. The Travel Grant can be used for both virtual and in-person conferences, so we are flexible for however your community is handling conference attendance. I’ll send out the call for volunteers to help review applications next!
Thanks!
Michelle Minitti
Board of Directors
