Eligibility

The Al Worden "Endeavour" Scholarship, with an application deadline in October, offers 2 awards of $7000 each.

Description

The Al Worden "Endeavour" Scholarship brings STEM-minded students and teachers on an all-expenses-paid, ten-day journey culminating at Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, in summer 2026. Eight teams of four students and one teacher are selected to represent their home countries in this immersive experience of international collaboration, education, and leadership. Students will participate in the Advanced Academy and experience astronaut-like training. Teachers will join the Space Camp for Educators program, learning engaging and active STEAM lessons for the classroom. Once selected, winners will design their own mission patch, meet astronauts and other aerospace industry leaders, and make lasting friendships. To apply, applicants must submit a 3-minute video explaining what this opportunity and a future in STEAM mean to them and their larger community. Teachers should articulate how they envision bringing the knowledge gained to the classroom and beyond. Selected finalists will be invited to interview with WAI's scholarship team for a place in the Endeavour Class of 2026. Applicants may be students aged 15-18 (must be WAI Student members) or teachers. This scholarship does not require letters of recommendation, resumes, or essays. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Women in Aviation International for more information.
