The University of Alabama in Huntsville announced Thursday that it was offering up to $8,000 in scholarship money to graduates of Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
“This scholarship reflects UAH’s deep connection to space, science, and innovation,” Michael Poll, vice provost for enrollment management at UAH, said in a news release. “Space Camp does more than inspire—it equips students with the foundational skills and mindset needed for success in STEM. By connecting these young innovators to institutions like UAH, we’re helping prepare the next generation of engineers, scientists, and technology leaders who will power the region’s future.”
The scholarship is open to students who have successfully completed the Aviation Challenge Mach III, Advanced Space Academy, the U.S. Advanced Cyber Academy, or a comparable high school-level Space Camp program.
To qualify, students must be fully admitted to UAH as a new first-time undergraduate student and begin full-time enrollment in a degree-seeking program in the summer or fall term immediately following their high school graduation.
“We’re excited for this next chapter in our long relationship with UAH,” U.S Space & Rocket Center interim CEO Brenda Perez said.
In-state students who meet the criteria will receive an annual award of $1,000, while out-of-state students will receive $2,000 per year. The scholarship is renewable for up to four academic years for students who maintain full-time enrollment in good academic standing and maintain a 2.5 UAH GPA. The scholarship may be combined with additional academic scholarships awarded by the university.
Students must have completed an eligible Space Camp program on or after May 8, 2025. Eligible students will receive a certificate confirming their scholarship status upon completion of their Space Camp program. The scholarship itself will be officially awarded once the student is admitted to UAH as a new first-time student.
