STRATEGIC PLAN AND GOALS:
Goals of the Vermont Space Grant Consortium include promoting the enhancement of Vermont's STEM educational base, encouraging Vermont students to consider careers in scientific and technical fields, increasing Vermont's aerospace-related research infrastructure, and mounting programs that connect Vermont's citizens at all levels to NASA. The following methods will be used to achieve these goals in the areas of education, research, and public outreach:

    Education

  • Hold a yearly competition to award merit-based VSGC Undergraduate
        Scholarships to Vermont students in STEM disciplines attending
        Vermont academic institutions.
     
  • Fund special scholarships for Vermont students accepted at a NASA
        Academy or other NASA competitive program.
     
  • Fund competitive Undergraduate Program Proposals to encourage
        new degree programs, curriculum development, and new courses in
        aerospace disciplines at Vermont's academic institutions.
     
  • Fund student teams mentored by VSGC-associated faculty that
        participate in programs sponsored by NASA or other Space Grant
        consortia.
     
  • Participate in the activities of the Vermont-NASA Educational
       Cooperative  (VNEC).

    ●  Work through VSGC affiliates to address K-12 issues, and coordinate
        initiatives with NASA's Aerospace Education Specialist for Vermont.

                                                              Research
     
  • Fund competitive proposals for mentored undergraduate research
        projects in NASA-related areas.
     
  • Provide funding to encourage faculty research and mentored
        undergraduate summer research in NASA-related disciplines at
        Vermont's primarily undergraduate academic institutions.
     

    • Outreach

    ●  Fund competitive proposals from affiliates and other Vermont
        organizations for science communication projects.

    ●   Display an exhibit at appropriate meetings and conferences across the
         state that highlights VSGC activities and  NASA programs.

    ●   Participate in the activities of the Vermont Civil Air Patrol and
         continue to be involved in state policy issues associated with civil
         aviation.

    ●  Hold an annual Awards Night to honor VSGC Scholars and Fellows
        and showcase VSGC and NASA-related projects and activities in Vermont.
        Invitees will include students, their parents and teachers, representatives of
        all VSGC affiliates, state government officials, and a NASA  representative.
