Aerospace History Fellowship: American Historical Association and NASA

The American Historical Association (AHA) annually sponsors at least one Fellow for one academic year to undertake research related to aerospace history.

This fellowship is supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It will provide a Fellow with an opportunity to engage in significant and sustained advanced research in all aspects of the history of aerospace from the earliest human interest in flight to the present, including cultural and intellectual history, economic history, history of law and public policy, and the history of science, engineering, and management.

Here is a link to a list of past fellowship award recipients, the term of their fellowships and research topics.

The History Education Council of Hawaii highly recommends that Hawaii historians and educators with an interest in aerospace history apply.

It should be remembered that Ellison Onizuka, who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, was from Kealakekua, Kona, Hawaii.

Applications and letters of recommendation must be postmarked by March 5, 2010.
