We're all on a mission
The Endeavour Scholarship
Nation-to-nation, we’re inspiring the next generation of explorers, connecting a STEM-driven community and forming lifelong friendships along the way.
“When you consider the decades of rigor and discipline it’s going to take to successfully put people from Earth on Mars, and that getting to Mars is just one of the countless engineering challenges we face on our own planet today, we need to pick up the pace. The pipeline for STEM talent can handle a lot more volume, and Space Camp is a proven connection.”

The Al Worden "Endeavour" Scholarship is a nation-to-nation initiative encouraging young people to pursue careers as explorers and engineers
Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Colonel Al Worden, a global advocate for science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) education, inspired the Endeavour Scholarship program which launched in 2019.
Managed by the nonprofit Kallman Foundation, a 501(c)(3), the program awards scholarships that bring teams of carefully selected secondary school-age students, and their teacher chaperones, to participate in the world-renowned Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama, USA.
Carrying out Worden’s legacy through advocacy, Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot, Brigadier General Charlie Duke, USAF (Ret) has been an ambassador for the program for the past two years, meeting scholarship winners at select awards ceremonies and inspiring hundreds at Space Camp in July 2022 and 2023.
Working in close cooperation with Kallman Worldwide, Inc., the organizer of official USA national participation in leading international air shows, the Endeavour Scholarship award and recognition ceremonies are paired with selected air shows over a two-year cycle. The entire roster of ‘Endeavour Scholars’ includes students and teachers from the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Chile, France, Singapore, Australia, Bahrain, Poland and the United States.
The program is funded through the generosity of private-sector corporations and individuals who share Al Worden’s passion for inspiring future generations to work across national boundaries and keep reaching for new horizons.

Wrapping up four action-packed days at the 39th Space Symposium in Colorado Springs! We had a blast making countless connections and engaging in great conversations about the Endeavour Scholarship Foundation. Audiences cherished every moment with the legend, Charlie Duke, Apollo 16 Astronaut. What an extraordinary experience it has been! Space has captivated people worldwide, of all ages and backgrounds—it`s a shared passion that ignites hearts and minds early in life.
At the event, our Endeavour Scholarship team, alongside our Mission Ambassador, Charlie Duke, made numerous new connections and reconnected with fellow space colleagues. We engaged in insightful discussions with space enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds—a rewarding experience, hearing everyone`s stories.
Charlie shared his knowledge and insights, educating everyone about the transformative impact of The Endeavour Scholarship Foundation’s mission. Our goal is to nurture young, talented minds, and empower them to become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow in exciting STEM careers, encouraging them to always dream big and aim for the stars! Together, let`s pave the way for a brighter future through the limitless possibilities that STEM offers!

Congratulations to Mission Team #15, Chile! This all-girls team is a powerhouse of STEM knowledge and is ready to take on their journey to #WashingtonDC and @rocketcenterusa’s @spacecampusa this July. Recognized at the #usapartnershippavilion by our partner, @kallmanewc, the @endeavourscholarship is grateful to have the inspirational words of Ambassador Meehan, U.S. Ambassador to Chile. Thank you to General Suez of the #FACH who said it best, these young women are the future of Chile. A big shout-out to @boeing for sponsoring this showcase event for bilateral relations; Heidi Grant, thank you for embodying the spirit of our program in the positive words and advice you give to all our Endeavour participants.
The students were chosen through a nationwide STEM contest run by our in-country partner the Colegio de Ingenieros de Chile A.G.. Rosita Guerra, the leader of this team, comes to us through the Fundacion Arturo Merino School at @colegiotantauco she’s ready to lead this superstar group!
The Endeavour Class of 2024 will come together soon as a full team, and will strive to exemplify the guidance given by Col. Mike Bloomfield to "always thank those who support you and remember the mission is only as successful as the teamwork behind it." Team Chile joins Australia, Poland, the UAE and Singapore. Team USA to come! Ad Astra!
