Meet Our Affiliates

The Maine Space Grant Consortium is made up of Affiliates that are actively involved in aerospace-related research and education. Affiliates are institutions of higher education or non-profit research organizations. Each Affiliate has the capacity to take a leading role in strengthening and expanding the state’s aerospace research and education capabilities by improving its own capability or in collaboration with other Affiliates. On a case-by-case basis, the Board of Directors may recognize an institution as an Affiliate even though it is not a higher education or not-for-profit research institution.

Our affiliate members and representatives are:
