Arizona Space Grant Consortium

The Arizona Space Grant Consortium (AZSGC) includes three state universities—The University of Arizona (UA), Arizona State University (ASU), and Northern Arizona University (NAU)—as well as Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). AZSGC works in partnership with 32 affiliates in academia, industry, nonprofit, and government, and offers 40+ dynamic programs to our state. Each of AZSGC’s activities and programs aims to expand opportunities to learn about and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing STEM education, research, and outreach. Our programs help build a diverse, scientifically literate citizenry and a well-prepared science, engineering, and technology workforce. AZSGC-sponsored programs support NASA’s education goals by strengthening the future workforce for NASA and the nation, attracting and retaining students in STEM disciplines, and engaging students in NASA's mission directorates. AZSGC programs merge NASA, industry, and Arizona’s education and research efforts. We extend the arms of NASA and expand Arizona’s capacity to conduct research in a way that educates the next generation of scientists and engineers.
