Alex Higgins Memorial Space Camp Scholarship

Calling all NH students ages 9-17!

Train to be an astronaut, an airplane pilot, or a robotics engineer in a five-day immersive, intensive, educational, and fun camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center! Since 2001, more than 70 New Hampshire children and teens have traveled to U.S. Space Camp & Rocket Center, in Huntsville, AL, for a week of simulated astronaut or pilot training, thanks to the Alex Higgins Memorial Space Camp Scholarship. And three more will get to go in 2025! Would you like to be one of them?

The Alex Higgins Memorial Space Camp Scholarship was founded in 2000 in Memory of Alex Higgins of Bedford, NH, who died in March 1999 from injuries that resulted from a backyard accident shortly before his 13th birthday. Alex was a wonderful young man who loved life and was filled with good will toward all he met.

In 1994, he attended U.S. Space Camp. The Higgins Family and McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center created the scholarship to give deserving NH youths the same potentially life-changing opportunity that Alex had: a week at Space Camp.
