Through WCC's affiliation in the Hawai‘i Space Grant Consortium (HSGC), WCC students can receive fellowship stipends to conduct space science- related projects. Three WCC students participated in the NASA Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program, where they conducted zero-g experiences on board a NASA KC-135 aircraft.
