52 university-based consortia across all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico
HSGC develops and runs interdisciplinary education, research, and public service programs related to space science, Earth science, remote sensing, human exploration and development of space, small satellites, and aerospace technology. Chartered in 1990 under the NASA National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program, our programs span the Hawaiian Islands.
With the help of our industry affiliates, we work to inspire and prepare students to enter STEM degree pathways and careers and to promote public understanding of NASA's goals and missions. We accomplish this through a variety of projects: university research internships, innovative courses, workshops for educators, educational web sites and school programs, public exhibitions, lectures, tours, and more.
