Description
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarship is a national initiative supporting African American students pursuing bachelor's degrees in physics or astronomy at accredited U.S. institutions. The program is part of a collective effort by leading scientific societies to address underrepresentation and systemic barriers in these fields. Each year, the scholarship provides $10,000 awards based on financial need and a demonstrated commitment to advancing access and success for marginalized students in physics and astronomy. Recipients may reapply for renewed support in subsequent years. The program is funded by the Simons Foundation and Simons Foundation International, with additional support from the AIP Foundation and private donors.
