The International Space University (ISU) is pleased to announce that the ASPACE full tuition scholarship for the ISU Master of Space Studies, which was announced earlier this year and promoted with the help of the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC), has been awarded to Mr. Harry Tabi Ndip, an outstanding student from Cameroon. ASPACE Satellite Technology Limited is headquartered in Saudi Arabia and is a subsidiary of USPACE Technology Group Limited which is headquartered in Dubai and Hong Kong.
Furthermore, ISU is also pleased to announce that the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) has joined this partnership and will cover the travel expenses of the scholarship winner from his country to France (where ISU is located).
ISU President Nicolas Peter said:
"ISU expresses its deepest gratitude to ASPACE for their generous support to give the chance for a student of ISU's Master of Space Studies (MSS) coming to Strasbourg in September 2024 from an underprivileged and underrepresented country. This partnership also with SGAC and UNOOSA is a testament to the importance of nurturing talent for the continued advancement of the global space domain. ISU calls for additional organizations to join this effort in the future to provide a chance to all to join the space sector".
ASPACE's Chairman and CEO Mr. SUN Fengquan said:
"Among the many top-level candidates, Mr. Tabi Ndip's profile stood by out for his academic, entrepreneurial and space outreach background. We are sure that the ISU Master program will be a crucial step in his ambition to bring space technology benefits to his home country of Cameroon and to the African continent, and we are pleased that the ASPACE scholarship can help in making it happen".
