About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $324,868.28 cooperative agreement to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) to operate the MUREP Aerospace Academy for the Southwest (MAA Southwest) program. The goal of MAA Southwest is to inspire and prepare underserved K-12 students in the Southwest border region, which has a highly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged population, for advanced studies and careers in STEM, particularly aerospace-related fields. The award supports UTEP, a Hispanic-serving institution, in engaging over 3,000 direct participants, including students and teachers, as well as thousands of additional indirect participants through educational and community outreach events. This award is not associated with a set-aside program.

MAA southwest is a 2014 MAA grantee that engaged and prepared more than 3000 direct participants, 3000 k-12 students and 135 in-service teachers during the last funding cycle (2015-2018).
