Apollo 15 Command Module Pilot Colonel Al Worden, a global advocate for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, inspired the Endeavour Scholarship, launched in 2019.
The Endeavour Scholarship is a 501(c)(3) program that awards fully funded scholarships that bring teams of carefully selected secondary school students, along with their teacher chaperones, to attend the world-renowned U.S. Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama.
Carrying forward Worden’s legacy, Apollo 16 Lunar Module Pilot Brigadier General Charlie Duke, USAF (Ret.), has served as a Mission Ambassador for the past two years, meeting scholarship recipients at select award ceremonies and inspiring hundreds of students annually at Space Camp.
In close collaboration with Kallman Worldwide, the organizer of official U.S. participation at leading international air shows, Endeavour Scholarship award and recognition ceremonies are strategically aligned with select global air shows on a two-year cycle. The growing community of Endeavour Scholars includes students and educators from the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Chile, France, Singapore, Australia, Bahrain, Poland, Indonesia, Ukraine, and the United States.
The program is made possible through the generosity of corporate partners and individual supporters who share Al Worden’s commitment to inspiring the next generation to collaborate across borders and pursue bold futures in STEM.
Dolly Parton’s voice reached millions around the world. It also made it all the way to the moon! 🌙
A lifelong country music fan, Apollo 16 astronaut and Endeavour Scholarship Mission Ambassador Charlie Duke asked a disk jockey fan to put together a collection of music for his journey to the moon. The result was a collection of live performances and greetings recorded especially for the crew by Dolly Parton, Porter Wagoner, and other country artists. When Charlie made that historic journey, the tapes went with him and Dolly’s voice was heard more than 200,000 miles from home. 🎶
Back on earth, Dolly has left behind a legacy of generosity and a lifelong commitment to education and opening doors for the next generation, values we deeply admire at Endeavour.
Ad Astra, Dolly. 🤍

Space Camp through Laylani’s eyes: New experiences, new perspectives, and friends from around the world. 🚀⭐🫂
Mission Team USA’s Laylani reflects on a week that showed her just how much we can learn from each other when we come together. 🌎
As Laylani put it, “The world was meant to meet.” We couldn’t agree more. 💙
We’re so grateful to our Mission Team USA partners @womeninaviation, @systemsgoeducation, and the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation for helping make experiences like this possible.

Tomorrow`s forecast: look up. 👀🪐
At Space Camp, our Endeavour Scholars had their eyes on the sky as they launched the rockets they built during the week. Tomorrow morning, there`s another reason to look up.
Before sunrise, six planets, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune, will appear across the morning sky in a planetary parade.
Wherever you are in the world, we hope you’ll be looking up with us. 🌎
