Description
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarship supports undergraduate students pursuing bachelor's degrees in physics and astronomy by helping alleviate financial barriers to degree completion. The American Astronomical Society participates alongside the American Institute of Physics, American Association of Physics Teachers, American Physical Society, and Society of Physics Students. The 2024 scholarship focused on African American students, connecting individual financial support with the initiative's goal of doubling the number of African American students earning physics and astronomy bachelor's degrees annually by 2030.
The current application portal describes support for physics and astronomy majors with financial need and a commitment to enhancing access and opportunity for marginalized, underserved, and excluded individuals. The broader initiative addresses disproportionate financial challenges facing undergraduates who encounter the starkest barriers in these fields, including a focus on African American students.
