The Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to increasing the number and quality of our nation's scientists and engineers. Toward that end, the DoD annually supports approximately 8,000 graduate students in fields important to national defense needs.
The DoD supports graduate students in a number of ways. First and foremost is the support of thousands of graduate students who are members of research teams funded through DoD contracts and grants. The students, selected by the research faculty, engage in fundamental studies under the leadership of a senior researcher and commensurately earn advanced degrees. Usually, these students are supported wholly by the DoD grant or contract.

The Space Scholars Program invites undergraduate, masters, and doctorate students in the areas of science and engineering to participate in a unique summer program that may lead to graduate fellowships and full-time employment. These opportunities exist in the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL ) Space Vehicles Directorate , which has facilities at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts; and the National Solar Observatory , Sunspot, New Mexico.

The forte of our Space Scholars Program lies in the close interaction between the student and one of the laboratory’s highly regarded researchers. These researchers function as a Mentor and offer close support and guidance to the student carrying out the research.
