Tennessee Space Grant Consortium

Fisk University is one of the founding members of the Tennessee Space Grant Consortium.  The TSGC is a part of NASA's National  Space Grant College and Fellowship Program.  This program, through the designation of Space Grant consortia and the establishment of Space Grant programs and fellowships, was designed to broaden the base of universities and individuals contributing to and benefiting from aerospace science and  technology and ultimately contribute to the development and utilization of space resources.

The National Program Objectives for Space Grant are:

  • Establish and maintain a national network of universities with interests and capabilities in aeronautics, space and related fields;
  • Encourage cooperative programs among universities, aerospace industry, and Federal, state and local governments;
  • Encourage interdisciplinary training, research and public service programs related to aerospace;
  • Recruit and train U.S. citizens, especially women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities, for careers in aerospace science and technology; and,
  • Promote a strong science, mathematics, and technology education base from elementary through secondary levels.
