The scheme is open to UK citizens to help fund them to attend ISU’s Space Studies Programms and MSc programmes. Up to £30,000 is being made available to be shared between successful candidates.

Chris Brunskill attended the 2011 Space Studies Programme in Austria.  He said “During the programme I had the chance to take lectures provided by leading experts in the many disciplines that make up the modern space industry.  I was able to get hands on experience with technical equipment and participate in the planning of a live mission.  I was also able to work with a fantastic, proactive and intelligent group of fellow participants from around the world.  I hope future beneficiaries of the UK Space Agency funding programme will gain as much as I have from this experience.”

The successful candidates will be chosen by a panel consisting of representatives from the UK Space Agency and Space Education Trust, with consultation from ISU. Students will be expected to show evidence of some external support including sourcing €1000 towards their study themselves.  The deadline for applying for funding for the Space Studies Programme is 31st January 2012; the deadline for the Masters programme is 15th March (deadlines for non-funded places are later). Application is through the ISU website.
