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.
We’re grateful to @womeninaviation for their continued support of the Endeavour Scholarship and the next generation of aviation and aerospace leaders. 💙✈️
WAI is helping us celebrate these outstanding teams at their Endeavour Scholarship ceremony at @fiafarnborough next month by connecting them with memberships to their amazing organization.
For our aerospace industry friends attending Farnborough, be sure to check out the WAI Connect Reception on Friday, July 17th, and join WAI CEO Lynda Coffman and fellow aviation professionals for an evening of networking in London ahead of the show. RSVP to this great opportunity today!

Happy International Women in Engineering Day! 👷🏻♀️⚙️ Today, we’re celebrating the women whose curiosity, creativity, and determination are shaping the future. 💪
Women represent just 16.5% of the global engineering workforce, highlighting the importance of inspiring and empowering more girls and women to pursue futures in STEM.
To date, 55% of Endeavour scholars have been women. Through experiential learning, mentorship, and exposure to STEM careers, the Endeavour Scholarship is proud to help the next generation of leaders turn ambition into action. 💫

A sweet moment for Ruby-Jane, an alumna of Mission Team 13, Australia! 💙✨
She recently had the chance to meet Australian astronaut @aussieastrokatherine during a visit to her university. When she stopped to say hello, Katherine immediately recognized her Endeavour Scholarship jacket. 🤭 We’re not sure it gets much cooler than that!
So proud of our alumni repping Endeavour out in the world. 🌏

Yesterday at @exponorcl 2026, we proudly welcomed Mission Team Chile into the Endeavour Scholarship family. 🇨🇱
As mining industry leaders from around the world gathered in Antofagasta, four students and one educator were honored as representatives of Chile`s bright STEM future ahead of their adventure to @spacecampusa next month. 🚀
Welcoming the team was Endeavour alumna and Chilean astronaut-in-training @matilde.gaete, whose journey from scholarship recipient to pursuing a career in space exploration inspired the team as they prepare to begin their own. 🧑🚀
Like the Endeavour Scholars before them, this team is already focused on creating opportunities and inspiring others. Educator recipient Pilar Cabrera Guzmán shared, “I want them to believe that their dreams are valid no matter where they come from,” while student recipient Magdalena Orellana Lopez spoke about creating opportunities for students from small towns and public schools like hers, adding, “Every personal achievement also belongs to my community.”
Congratulations to Martina, Sofía, Matiás, Magdalena, and Pilar! 👏 Thank you to our incredible partners @exponorcl, @industrialesdeantofagasta, @nanorthernchile, @colegiodeingenieroschile, and @ucn for joining us in celebrating the talent and ambition of Mission Team Chile.
