National and International Scholarships Office
The National and International Scholarships Office (NISO) coordinates Purdue’s campus nominations for prestigious, external awards. Through workshops and personalized advising, we support emerging scholars as they develop their potential as leaders committed to improving the world we live in. We then guide candidates through the application process for select scholarships and grants. NISO is in the John Martinson Honors College and is open to every Purdue student.
Astronaut Scholarship Foundation
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit organization created by the Mercury 7 astronauts in 1984. The foundation strives to aid the U.S. in retaining its world leadership in science and technology by providing scholarships to the very best and brightest college students pursuing degrees in STEM majors at select institutions.
The Tech Justice Lab, housed in the John Martinson Honors College at Purdue, is a cross-college collaboration that prioritizes the development of interdisciplinary, justice-oriented undergraduate technology researchers and practitioners. The TJL builds on the John Martinson Honors College’s mission of fostering well-rounded and highly engaged students, equipped with the interdisciplinary knowledge and skills to impact society for the better. Interested students from any discipline, with guidance from TJL affiliated faculty and peers, will develop their toolkits of critical frameworks for evaluating the ethics and social impacts of technology. The TJL seeks to empower students to carry out projects that help us imagine what it means for technology to be “just,” and to envision ways to change how technologies are designed, implemented, evaluated, and/or contested, in order to bring about a more just future.
Purdue Libraries Space Archives
Purdue Libraries' collection of primary source materials on the history and development of powered flight began in 1940 with the gift of aviator Amelia Earhart's papers by her husband, George Palmer Putnam. Since that initial donation, the number of flight-related archival collections has increased to reflect the steady growth of faculty and alumni contributions to the development of flight and later, space exploration. The Barron Hilton Flight and Space Exploration Archives was established in 2011 with generous support provided by Barron Hilton and the Conrad Hilton Foundation and now includes the papers of engineers, aviation professionals, scholars, and astronauts including Purdue distinguished alumni such as Neil A. Armstrong and Eugene Cernan.
