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 a Mission Ambassador for the program for the past two years, meeting scholarship winners at select awards ceremonies and inspiring hundreds at Space Camp each year.

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, Indonesia, 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.
