The objective of the Undergraduate Teacher Education Scholarship opportunity is to encourage students pursue degrees leading to become teachers of the sciences and mathematics.
Overview
A major goal of the Alabama Space Grant Consortium (ASGC) is to develop programs that will help improve the science and mathematics education of all students, and thereby provide a more scientifically literate population. To this end the nation needs an increased supply of students, well-prepared individuals who are fully qualified to teach mathematics and science in our elementary and secondary schools. It is important for college students to understand that teachers are central to any effort to effect reform in science and mathematics, and, for that reason, undergraduates must be encouraged to enter the teaching field. To encourage talented individuals to pursue studies leading to teaching certification in the sciences and mathematics, the ASGC has established a competitive, undergraduate teacher education scholarship program to complement its existing science and engineering-based scholarships.
Award Level
AL Space Grant undergraduate teacher education scholarship awards are a one-year, non-renewable scholarships limited to a maximum of $1,500 student stipend (or $750 for one semester).
This is a competitive scholarship program supported by NASA and the State of Alabama. Awards are based on merit, recognizing high academic achievement and promise. Awards are made annually.
Awards are contingent upon receipt of NASA funding and the quality of submitted proposals.
Eligibility Requirements
AL Space Grant strongly encourages applications from undergraduate students at HBCUs and MSIs and/or from traditionally underserved and underrepresented communities.
The Undergraduate Teacher Education Scholarship applicants must meet the following requirements:

- Enrolled as a full-time student (minimum of 12 credit hours) at an accredited university or college in the State of Alabama during the 2025-2026 academic year and must be on a track that would qualify them to teach in a pre-college setting. Priority will be given to those majoring in the sciences and mathematics, especially earth, space and environmental science.
- In good academic standing with a GPA of 3.0 (out of 4.0).
