pleased to announce the launch of this year's High School Aerospace Scholars

of NASA's plan for space exploration, which will send humans back to the
moon, then on to Mars and beyond. After they employ their math and science
skills to complete 10 Web-based assignments during the school year, they
will travel to Johnson Space Center in Houston during the summer and use
those same skills to help investigate options for sending humans to Mars
along side their peers and real NASA scientists and engineers.

U.S. citizen

Texas resident

Currently a high school Junior

Interest in science, math, or engineering

Able to commit to a relationship with JSC, including a
one-week residential experience during the summer -

The state of Texas, in partnership with JSC and the Texas educational community, developed High School Aerospace Scholars in 1999 to encourage more students to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Additional partners include the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, University of Houston System, and Rotary NASA. More than 1,750 students from across Texas have participated in the program.
