Inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo program and named after the late Apollo 15 Astronaut Al Worden, the Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship is a STEM/STEAM-focused program awarding scholarships to international students and educators to attend America’s premier space education center, Space Camp, in Huntsville, Alabama. The program is run through the 501(c)3 Endeavour Scholarship Foundation.

Bolstered by the understanding that mankind’s greatest future achievements in space exploration will come as a result of global partnerships, these merit-based scholarships recognize stellar high school students, ages 15-18, whose desire to further their studies in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, and their passion to one-day apply and contribute to that body of knowledge, stand out among the rest. The program also recognizes educators whose commitment to STEM/STEAM is evident in their subject matter expertise, enthusiasm, and the impact they have had on the students they teach. 

All people and organizations who join the mission of this program share the belief that investing in education, children, and in international collaboration is vital to the success of our future as a global society. Participants leave the program inspired and better able to serve their communities and the world.
