The Palmetto Academy Program is an immersive and integrated multidisciplinary exposure and training for students with various backgrounds and career aspirations. This program, aimed at undergraduate and graduate students attending colleges and universities in South Carolina, encourages student participation in order to meet the growing need by NASA for skilled science and engineering workers.
Faculty at member institutions may apply to host a Palmetto Academy site focused on one of NASA’s current research priorities. Although the program is a ten-week summer program, the Palmetto Academy Sites should host 9-week research opportunities that have direct relevance to NASA mission areas. The students will be involved in a welcome session at the beginning and then a finale ceremony at the end, constituting the tenth week. The SCSGC Palmetto Academy will enable faculty at colleges throughout South Carolina to immerse students in "hands on" learning experiences while working on NASA-related research. As is true of all SCSGC Programs, minority participation is encouraged.The Palmetto Academy will be open to any research proposals that advance NASA’s research interests, such as aeronautics, biomedical science, astrophysics, planetary exploration, including the Earth and Moon, and Earth System Science, to further include global climate change, drought, etc. These research thrusts are pertinent not only on a national scale but also regionally here in the southeast.
