Seton Hall University is happy to announce that a dozen undergraduate students will get an extraordinary, hands-on learning experience this summer thanks to generous grants from NASA and the New Jersey Space Grant Consortium.
Each student will receive grant funding to assist in NASA’s various missions and conduct research in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as aerospace. This is a great honor for the students and Seton Hall, as it continues to recognize our commitment to preparing students for today‘s in-demand STEM careers.
From the moment they arrive on campus, students get to work alongside professors on cutting-edge research and use state-of-the-art equipment — opportunities usually reserved for larger universities and graduate students. They also benefit from internships at some of the world’s most innovative companies and institutions, including Merck, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Columbia Medical School, Google, Lockheed Martin, Colgate-Palmolive and Harvard Medical School.
Interested students are invited to visit Seton Hall to learn more about the many advantages our students enjoy, including small classes, 90+ academic programs and 17,000+ career-defining internships.
