Four University students received NASA Tuition Assistance

Wednesday, June 3, 2020

Four Delaware State University undergraduate students were recently awarded the Undergraduate Tuition Award through the NASA Delaware Space Grant Consortium.   

Each of the following students – all physics and engineering majors – received an award of $5,000 to be applied to their student accounts during the 2020-2021 school year:

  • Indaysia Brent, a senior from Washington, Del,
  • Jailyn Dorsett, a senior from Middletown, Del.
  • Minares Ehsani, a junior from Smyrna, Del.
  • Corban Weatherspoon, a senior from Bear, Del.

Established in 1991, the Delaware Space Grant Consortium is funded by NASA in order to train students and researchers in the state of Delaware in the areas of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and geography, said Dr. William H. Matthaeus, program director.

“By means of this training, the state of Delaware aims to help in contributing to the technically literate workforce that NASA will need in the years ahead,” he said in a website statement.
