Consortium Vision

The Mississippi Space Grant Consortium is a statewide network of colleges, universities, industries and public service institutions providing opportunities for Mississippians, especially those from underrepresented groups, to understand and participate in NASA's aeronautics and space programs by supporting and enhancing science, mathematics, engineering and technology education, research, and outreach programs.

Consortium Mission

• Strengthen science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs throughout the state.
• Enhance aerospace-related research opportunities at undergraduate and graduate levels.
• Inspire students, especially those from underrepresented groups, to pursue careers in science, math, engineering and technology.
• Improve the state's scientific literacy by providing educators with innovative strategies for teaching math and science.
• Serve the general public by supporting programs that contribute to scientific literacy.

The Mississippi Space Grant Consortium is funded through a NASA training grant.
