Nevada NASA Space Grant Consortium

The Nevada NASA Space Grant Consortium was established in 1991 with a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration NASA and is comprised of Nevada’s eight state institutions of higher learning.

We support the national agenda to develop a strong math, science, engineering and technology education base through the funding of research and higher education programs, and by supporting students through scholarships, fellowships and internships, and by partnering with industry and local government.

Our academic member institutions consist of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), Nevada State College (NSC) in Henderson, Western Nevada College (WNC) in Carson City, Great Basin College (GBC) in Elko, Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) in Reno, the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in Las Vegas, and the Desert Research Institute (DRI) with locations in Las Vegas and Reno.
