EES Students Secure MSGC Fellowships for Space and Planetary Research
EES is proud to announce that four of its students have been awarded fellowships and grants from the Michigan Space Grant Consortium (MSGC). These competitive awards, funded via NASA, support students who are pushing the boundaries of Earth and space science.
