Space Camp Scholarships

Apply to Fly!

Every year three talented New Hampshire students between the ages of 7 and 18 are chosen by the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center and Touch the Future, Inc. as winners of the Alex Higgins Space Camp Scholarship. This scholarship covers the cost of tuition to Space Camp in Huntsville, AL. Just like in the Apollo Program which took us to the Moon, three "primary crew" and three "backup crew" members are chosen every year. If, for some reason, a primary crew member is not able to accept their scholarship, it would then be passed to one of the backup crew members.

Each applicant must be a resident of the State of New Hampshire and be between the ages of 7 and 18. Recipients are selected on the basis of essays, report cards and recommendations. The Alex Higgins Scholarship Fund covers the full cost of tuition but does NOT cover transportation to Alabama. The deadline for submitting an application is March 31 and the winners will be announced during our Aerospacefest event.
