Description
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarships are part of a major initiative to reduce financial barriers for African American undergraduate students pursuing degrees in physics and astronomy. This program, led by the American Astronomical Society and several partner organizations, provides direct financial support, mentorship, research experiences, and a supportive peer community. The initiative aims to double the number of African American students earning bachelor's degrees in physics and astronomy by 2030, and also works with academic departments to promote systemic change and greater equity in the physical sciences.
