Nearly one-third of LASP’s 750 employees are CU Boulder students, making LASP a vital training ground for the future space science workforce. Your contributions help our students gain hands-on experience working on space missions that study our own planet and star, our planetary neighbors, and the vast cosmos beyond. At LASP, students are not just observers; they are fully integrated members of professional teams working to develop the next generation of space science tools and instruments to revolutionize scientific study and understanding of the cosmos. Incorporating students into real-world teams ensures the next generation is equipped to continue innovative space science research. We recognize that students and early career professionals are integral members of the lab and that their success advances LASP’s mission as well as their own education and STEM careers. By providing multiple scholarships and fellowships, we facilitate diverse and robust experiences and help students and early career professionals reach their full potential.
