Cosmos Scholars Grant Program

The Cosmos Club Foundation's Young Scholars Awards have been presented annually* since 1998, with the invaluable assistance of the Consortium of Universities of the Metropolitan Washington Area. The program provides grants to graduate students at member institutions of Consortium to meet unexpected and otherwise unsupported aspects of their research.

* The absence of a list labeled "2000" reflects a change of the month of the award from December to January.

Selection of Cosmos Scholars for 2008

After an arduous process of review, 27 Cosmos Scholars have been selected from a field of 205 applicants.  Their names, institutions, and proposal titles appear in the table on this web site.   Formal notification to all applicants will follow in the near future.  Regrettably, limited resources prevented us from supporting many worthwhile projects.  We congratulate the new Cosmos Scholars and thank all applicants for their participation.
