Ms. Porter,



I would like to inform you about a scholarship opportunity available to students in your LSAMP program from Universities Space Research Association (USRA).

Awards are made to undergraduates who will be juniors or seniors in the fall.  Up to four Scholarship Awards are available in amount of $4,000 each.



Information is available at http://www.usra.edu/about/outreach/scholarship/.  Applications will be accepted starting in early June, through Aug 12, 2016.



I would appreciate if you would pass along this information to your faculty and students in your LSAMP program and to the coordinators at your Alliance institutions.  A flyer is attached for distributing/posting.
