High school juniors with an interest in science and technology are invited to apply for the Washington Aerospace Scholars program, a NASA-designed online curriculum and internship. Deadline to apply for the program is November 6.



The Washington Aerospace Scholars program emphasizes science, technology, engineering and math, and is divided into two components - an online curriculum and a summer residency at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. There is no cost to students who are accepted.



To participate, student applicants must be U.S. citizens and residents of Washington state; have access to the Internet; be a junior in high school with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0; and be committed to completing online lessons to qualify for the six-day residential summer opportunity.
