Illinois student wins NASA scholarship
Since he was in high school, Sumit Dutta has marveled at the cosmological revelations made during space missions and has hankered after using that knowledge to create a real impact on society and science. Now an undergraduate at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, he is well on his way to fulfilling his ambitions. Dutta was the only Indian American out of 25 scholars to receive NASA's 2009 Aeronautics Scholarship, announced May 12.
The scholars were selected from hundreds of applications, NASA said. Dutta will receive $15,000 per year to cover tuition costs for two years and a $10,000 stipend during a summer internship with NASA.
