Space Academy Program
The Washington State Migrant Education Program (MEP) is inviting outstanding migrant students to apply to attend Space Academy, located at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
The Washington State Migrant Education Program will send nine eligible migrant students to Space Academy in July 2010. They will be selected from MERO 105, 171, and 189 service regions.
The scholarship is open to qualifying migrant students in the state of Washington who are 12 through 14 years old at the time they attend Space Academy, to be held July 17-24, 2010, in Huntsville, Alabama. (Students must be born between July 18, 1995, and July 24, 1998, to be eligible.) The program offers an all-expense paid, week-long trip to NASA Space Academy. Expenses for the students' participation, including meals and lodging during their stay at the Center, will be paid by the MEP. Each student will be provided a round-trip ticket on a selected airline and terminate at a point near his or her home.
Three chaperoning teachers will be provided.
