Al Worden Endeavor Scholarship

After the New Year, the emailman delivered an email to my emailbox, I wasn't expecting.  The message told me that, if interested, they would like to consider me for something extra - the Astronaut Al Worden Endeavour Scholarship.  If I was selected (after a virtual interview) for the all-inclusive scholarship, I would be the American teacher who leads a team of five or six exceptional students in an exclusive version of Space Camp.  Six more teams from around the world would also attend.

Hello!
This email is being sent to a select few students and educators that have applied for a Summer 2026 Space Camp scholarship.  Thank you so much for applying!
We would like to offer you an enhanced Camp experience by providing your name and information to the Endeavor Scholarship, Mission Team USA.  This program, partnered with the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation, is selecting 2 students and 1 educator to join Mission Team USA in their 2026 Camp experience.  Teams from Australia, Chile, the UAE, the UK and Ukraine will also be attending.

This opportunity does involve travel.  There is a trip to Dallas, TX on March 19-21 that you will be required to attend and then Camp that will be in Huntsville from July 23 to August 1.  All travel and camp expenses are covered by the Endeavor Scholarship program.

Was I interested?  Yes, I was!  Very Interested!
