L2 Student Scholarship Program 2018
« on: 07/29/2018 09:54 pm »
Four years ago we started offering students in the fields we cover 50 percent off L2 terms, a student discount. This is still in effect:
https://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=37300.0

However, the discount was still not enough for some students, especially at the college (teenager) level who have no disposable income (and some have no access to a credit card I've noticed), so we also ran an idea where current L2 members (or any regular member) of the site could throw in a bit of cash and that would be converted into L2 scholarships.

That was surprisingly successful, with 50 L2 scholarships taken and the majority of whom are still regulars with the site today. Amazingly, it was one of those scholarships who then became a lifetime L2 member is his own right and asked about the option to sponsor a scholarship himself!

Combined with some long-term L2 lifetime members occasionally chipping in a bit more, which I will convert into scholarships to kick this off, we can start another round.

--

Becoming a L2 scholarship sponsor:

1) If you are a current L2 member (or otherwise) and want to sponsor a student, you can do so at the discounted rate. The scholarships are a 12 month term, but discounted at the student rate, so each $50 gets one scholarship. There's no limit to how many scholarships you sponsor, but one is amazing enough. Also, it goes without question you're again supporting the site via chipping it to cover its costs.

First, click here to enter our secure payment page. Enter the total that will cover the scholarship. Then send me a PM to say it's for a scholarship and how you would like it to appear, such as username or real name, etc. (*you can also post in this thread).

---

Applying for a L2 scholarship:

2) If you are a student interested in a L2 scholarship, please post the following post into this thread.
a) Name (doesn't have to be full name, it's just better than "Sir Rocket-A-Lot").
b) What you are studying and which college/uni.
c) How L2 access would be useful to you.

--

This will keep going for a good month or so as I'd rather people who use NSF see this rather than tweeting it and getting people who've never been on NSF taking advantage. It'll take a while to get going, per previous experience.

As we get applicants for a scholarship, I'll allocate it to the person who sponsored it. 3 (third) of 4 (fourth available scholarship), 15 of 17 and so on, like the previous thread. It'll mainly be in order, but if we get - for instance - a Canadian student applying, then we try and match that to a Canadian sponsor.

Allocating student to sponsor will take a few days at most.

Questions can be posted in this thread too.

Chris,

I just donated four $50 L2 scholarships.  I sent you a PM with details.

Hi Chris.

My name is Paul.

Studying Space Engineering at GALCIT (Graduate Aerospace Laboratories of the California Institute of Technology). My registered e-mail address here will show that.

This is an awesome idea. I joined the site last year and have really enjoyed the open forum and it's assisted my studies already. I'm still learning before I post and I think L2 would REALLY help me. I would really appreciate a sponsor of a L2 membership/scholarship.

Hi,

my Name is Lucas and i am a 17 year old student from Germany.
I am at the high school at the moment.
(Proof was send over pm).

How would L2 Help me ?
I'm thinking of studying rocketsience and i think l2 with its big collections of documents could help me to decide if this is the right way for me and helps me to learn more about spaceflight.

A solarship would be great!

Greetings
Lucas

Long time reader of the site and follow you on Twitter. Got myself an account and would love L2. Don't have any notes to do anything, even Netflix, so would be great if I could get a sponsor.

Name John Edwards.

Hoping to get a job with Astrium UK at some point! Hanging around industry guys would be amazing.

PS Love the verification question for first post. You got to know your shuttles and I do!

Hi. I've been a member of this site for years as I got into Shuttle when I was knee high to my father who is also into space. I'm now studying and hope to get into rockets as a career!

I'm studying at Virginia Tech, Advanced Math, but could be applied to the career for sure. But I would love L2 access. My name is Mark as you may have guessed. I rebooted my e-mail address to my vt.edu addy to show as proof.

Thank you for your consideration!

Hello! A few folk pointed me to this.

My name's Joshua, though at this point most folk I interact with know me as Lupi.
I'm just starting out at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University through their Worldwide program, working towards a Bachelors in Aeronautical Sciences.

I haven't really interacted with the forum here much (I've only today created myself account), I've mostly read articles and followed you guys on Twitter, but two people I know have prompted me to give it a shot, and I suppose there's no harm in that. I'm always a fan of learning more, after all. That's how I went from having no goal when I graduated high school, to finally starting to find my way in spaceflight!

Thank you for the opportunity!

Hi everyone. I'm Chris and I'm at Embry-Riddle working through Aerospace disciplines and would love to have L2 access to help me. I heard it has actual FRR documentation from Shuttle and that would be a masive help for me in my essay work.

We have two more spaces for all students remaining and two we'd prefer to give to Dutch students (per the sponsor). After that we'll keep this going under a waiting list option.

Long time lurker, this made me login for a username as I hope I can qualify for this.

Name Paul. University of Liverpool Aerospace and Mechanical engineering.

Have heard about L2 via articles and I follow you on Twitter. Already utilise this site and having more resources on top would be a cool thing, but honestly, who doesn't want L2 on top of the great site this already is. :)

Sure, you're in - and as above, check your PMs.

Your sponsor is the final "Anon".

We're now going to be in a waiting list, bar two Euro students (preference is Dutch per the sponsor). Will update if we get more US sponsors.

Hi, my name is Arco Hollestelle and I am from the Netherlands.

I currently study at secondary school Pontes Goese Lyceum and I have plans to study at the TU Delft in a few years (aerospace engineering). I have been following nasaspaceflight on twitter for a while now and some of the forum threads here contain some great info (same for the articles), I really learned a lot from this place.

L2 membership would be useful for me in a few different ways.

Firstly, I just started writing a paper on a rocket (orbital) design together with a friend of mine and the L2 database would help a lot on researching different systems that are currently in use on launch vehicles. Writing this paper is mandatory and I hope to Inspire some of my college students by showing how cool spaceflight can be.

Secondly, I'm a paper modeler and I have a few designs of my own already, the electron and the Ariane 5 second stage + bepicolombo and the Insight being a few of them. Pictures of those are on my twitter (@HollestelleArco) and L2 could help me make the models as detailed as possible.

Thanks!

Hello! My name is Connor and I am an Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I think that having an L2 would be useful in a variety of ways. I love to discuss space news with friends and learn about cutting edge engineering. I think it helps us frame what our futures could be like working for aerospace companies.

I am also the technical director for an organization known as Illinois Space Society, a SEDS chapter. We work on four different technical projects, all related to space. Having access to materials like flight manuals or procedures could help us develop into a more professional society by learning from these established companies and their methods.

Thanks for this awesome opportunity!

Two new scholarships for US students available. One for a Baltic or Scandinavian student. And now one for Austria (focus), or that region.

I'm a space and rocketry nerd and follow news closely. I'm active in the rocketry association at my university and I am thinking about choosing aerospace for my master. I have been a member here for the last year but have been reading on the forums for longer and have wanted L2 since I saw that it existed. This scholarship idea is awesome.

Hello Chris,

My name is Adrian. I am 18 years old. I am from Mexico. I study at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, arguably the highest level of quality of education my country has to offer. I am currently studying Petroleum Engineering (its not the career I wanted, its what was available) but I will be shifting over to Mechanical Engineering from August 2019 and onwards. After majoring from Mechanical Engineering I will be working on my Aerospace Engineering master's degree.

Ever since I witnessed the SpaceX's SES-8 launch live on YouTube I have been keeping up with aerospace-related news. I am a vivid STEM advocate with a strong scope on propulsion systems for rocket engines.

If I were to be granted a scholarship for L2, it would be of incredible assistance with my educational development.  I've been told that it really is rich on rocketry-related content that I am obviously keen on learning about for educational purposes.

Hi! I'm pretty new in the club and I'm not in the board. I'm currently working on preparing a new project that we will hopefully launch within the club next year. I'm sure that there would be interest in contact between our clubs though! Regarding any previous contact that might have been another club as I believe the club that I'm in, ĘSIR, only started a couple of years ago.

Edit: here is an email-adress if you want to come in contact with the board directly: [email protected]

Hi Chris,

I was pointed this way from a friend of mine who frequents these parts. My name is Jacob, and I'm a senior studying physics at Cornell. So far on NSF I've been focusing more on the NewSpace side of space development (esp. Chinese NewSpace) so I hadn't landed in the L2 section yet. I've had a few space related internships already and I'll definitely end up doing something aerospace related in my career, so the L2 scholarship would be a great resource along the way.

If the US scholarships are still available (and there aren't others in line), please PM me!

Thank you.
