Professor Brant Clark Scholarship

In memory of Dr. Brant Clark, who joined the Psychology and Philosophy Division at San Jose State College (as it was then known) in 1936. During World War II, he left the faculty to serve in the US Navy, where he was a Navy Psychologist studying motion sickness and perceptual disorientation in pilots. Dr. Clark returned to San Jose State after his military service and later began a funded collaborative program of research with NASA scientists at NASA Ames Research Center. Dr. Clark retired from the San Jose State faculty around 1975 but continued to collaborate with NASA scientists until his death in 1980. The collaborative research model that Dr. Clark developed at NASA Ames, bringing faculty, students, and NASA scientists together, was continued by Dr. Kevin Jordan (Emeritus Professor), who established this scholarship. The Department of Psychology maintains collaborative relationships with scientists at NASA Ames. Applicants must be outstanding graduate students serving in a student research assistantship in the Human Systems Integration Division at NASA Ames Research Center. The amount of the scholarship will vary based on available funds. Financial need is not required.
