The Frederick A. Tarantino Memorial Scholarship Award provides $5,000 for full-time undergraduate students. To qualify, you must have a GPA of 3.5 or greater and be within two years of a B.S. or B.A. in a space science-related field of science or engineering (including life science and science education with application to fields in space science or aerospace engineering). To apply, you'll need to submit two essays and two letters of recommendation.
Essay
Capture your unique story and ambitions, while writing about the required subject matter.
Short responses
Capture your potential by answering open-ended questions about yourself and your interests.
To increase your chances of getting a scholarship, apply early, follow all application instructions, and write a great scholarship essay (if applicable)! For more help, ask a Mos advisor!
To prioritize your scholarship applications, think about which scholarships you have the best chance of getting (the most specific ones, with more than one winner), the ones due the soonest, and the ones that are awarding the most money.
Tip: We recommend you make a schedule for yourself to follow to stay organized and on track throughout the scholarship application season! You can always ask a Mos advisor for help.
A letter of recommendation (letter of rec) is a letter written by someone in your life who can speak to your achievements, positive traits, and potential. It's basically a summary of why you're great and deserve the scholarship or funding you're applying for! Typically, students ask teachers, mentors, coaches, or employers (never family or friends). FYI: You have to ask someone to write a letter of rec for you.
Letters of recommendation typically come from teachers, counselors, coaches, leaders in groups you're a part of—basically any person who knows you well and is NOT a family member.
Yes! But make sure to read each scholarship application's essay guidelines and requirements, and personalize your essay to each scholarship you apply to. Using the same essay for multiple applications can be a time-saver, but changing just a sentence or two can make a difference!
