The Space Coast VMAC Science Fellowship provides a valuable opportunity for veterans and students to learn about the interaction of physics, plants, and light, essential for sustainable agriculture and supporting life and food production.
At Space Coast Veteran Multi Assistance Center, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality veteran education, particularly in ag-education and STEM training. Through the TLALOC-01-A program, participants engage in a science fellowship where they learn the science behind farming technology and develop essential skills in measurement, observation, and data collection. Our goal is to build confidence, curiosity, and a deep understanding of how science supports sustainable agriculture on Earth and beyond.
Core offerings include hands-on training in microfarming, agroecology, and sustainable agriculture, as well as mentorship for business development and farm management. Participants also gain access to local USDA and VA program navigation, alongside opportunities for a science fellowship focused on innovative practices. Additional services encompass mental wellness support, educational tutoring in STEM, and mental wellness activities rooted in land-based practices. Together, these services foster purpose, stability, and opportunity for veterans seeking education and rebuilding their lives through cultivation and innovation.
The P.A. Wellness Scholarship was established to honor a dedicated United States Marine whose life reflected disciplined inquiry, scientific rigor, and service to human and environmental well-being. As an early contributor to the development of the G.R.O.U.N.D. PTSD self-regulation method, this scholarship supports approaches rooted in non-clinical, skills-based self-regulation for managing PTSD-related episodes. The focus is on practical, science-informed techniques that promote awareness, grounding, and personal agency outside of medical or therapeutic treatment frameworks. This initiative also aligns with the goals of a science fellowship, advancing education and research at the intersection of neuroscience, human performance, environmental regulation, and applied wellness, while emphasizing sustainable agriculture practices that enhance individual well-being. By investing in disciplined learning and applied science, the P.A. Wellness Scholarship honors a legacy of service while supporting resilient, knowledge-driven pathways to veteran education and overall well-being.
