'''National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program''' (NSGC&FP) | {{Short description|American institutions of space research}}{{Breadcrumbs|align=right|officialwebsite=no|wikipedia=yes}} | ||
'''National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program''' (NSGC&FP) was established in 1988 by the [[United States Congress|US Congress]] following the success of similar scholarship opportunities in the oceanic [[Sea Grant]] and agricultural [[Land-grant university|Land Grant]] fields. The catch-all term Space Grant refers back to these previous federal programs. In 1989, the program was given over to [[NASA]], which now administers it in the same way that [[NOAA]] administers Sea Grant. | |||
The '''space-grant colleges''' are educational institutions in the [[United States]] that comprise a network of fifty-three [[consortia]] established in 1988 for the purpose of [[Space research|outer space-related research]].<ref>{{cite web|title=NASA Space Grant Program|url=http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/spacegrant/about/index.html#.UvwD-_ldV8E|access-date=12 February 2014|archive-date=22 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222143500/http://www.nasa.gov/offices/education/programs/national/spacegrant/about/index.html#.UvwD-_ldV8E|url-status=live}}</ref> Each consortium is based in one of the [[U.S. state|fifty states]], the [[Washington, D.C.|District of Columbia]], [[Puerto Rico]], or [[Guam]],<ref>{{cite web|title=NASA Guam Space Grant|url=https://www.uog.edu/nasa-guam-space-grant/index.php|access-date=24 November 2023}}</ref> and each consists of multiple independent space-grant institutions, with one of the institutions acting as lead. | |||
Similar programs include [[Sea grant colleges|sea-grant colleges]] (instituted in 1966) and [[Sun grant colleges|sun-grant colleges]] (instituted in 2003). | |||
