About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $136,000 grant to Santa Clarita Community College District, operating as College of the Canyons, for a research initiative titled "DEIA in Action: Engaging Under-Represented Populations Through Community College Participation in NASA's Student-Oriented Sub-Orbital Flight Programs." The award, issued on July 1, 2024, carries a performance period extending through June 30, 2027, and does not include a set-aside designation. College of the Canyons, a Hispanic-Serving Institution located in Valencia, California, will utilize these funds to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) initiatives while engaging underrepresented student populations in NASA-sponsored sub-orbital flight opportunities through community college partnerships.
This grant supports NASA's broader educational mission to expand STEM participation among underserved communities. College of the Canyons, as a two-year public institution, is well-positioned to facilitate this engagement through its existing transfer pathways and career and technical education programs. The project aligns with the college's recent federal funding portfolio, which includes substantial support from the National Science Foundation and Department of Education focused on STEM advancement and equitable access for Latinx and other underrepresented student populations. Through this initiative, the college will contribute to NASA's efforts to build a more inclusive pipeline of future scientists, engineers, and aerospace professionals.
