Description
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarship is designed to support undergraduate students majoring in physics and astronomy who demonstrate financial need and a commitment to access and opportunity for all, especially those who face systemic barriers in these fields. Established by a coalition of scientific societies and funded by the AIP Foundation and donors, the program awards $10,000 scholarships, along with mentoring, professional development, and networking opportunities. The initiative specifically aims to improve graduation rates for underrepresented students, with a particular focus on African American students, by alleviating financial barriers and fostering a supportive community.
