USSRC, Alabama Legislature Team Up To Send Students To Space Camp

Two Students From Each Legislative District To Receive Space Camp Scholarship

Middle-school students living in Alabama are eligible to attend a special Space Camp program free of charge. Students ages 12 to 14 may apply for Space Academy for Leading Students in Alabama, or SALSA, a Space Camp scholarship funded by the Alabama legislature. A male and female student in each Alabama legislative district will receive a scholarship to attend SALSA, which promotes awareness of science, technology, engineering and mathematics concepts and careers along with leadership skills.

To be eligible for SALSA, students must apply for the scholarship. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center will then forward a notice of application to the members of the Alabama House of Representatives or the Alabama Senate representing the district in which the students reside. Each member will nominate two students to receive a scholarship to attend SALSA, which takes place May 27 through June 1, 2018.

Each scholarship includes tuition, room and board for the Space Academy program and a flight suit. Travel to and from the U.S. Space & Rocket Center are not included.

The deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, Feb. 16.
