High School Aerospace Scholars



An Opportunity for Los Fresnos CISD Juniors

Spark! and the NASA High School Aerospace Scholars program are offering a unique opportunity for high school students in Los Fresnos CISD. NASA wants today’s students to become the engineers, scientists, researchers and innovators of tomorrow. This program offers a one-of-a-kind experience for students to explore STEM-related major or career opportunities. Highest achieving students earn the opportunity to attend the onsite summer experience at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

During the school year, students:

  • Interactive lessons on NASA activities related to space exploration, earth science, technology and aeronautics
  • Design challenges such as 3D drawing, video creation and interactive poster design
  • Virtual chats with NASA engineers and scientists

Highest achievers receive an invitation to a summer experience that includes:

  • Team projects and briefings directed by NASA engineers and scientists
  • Hands-on design challenge and engineering activities planning an Artemis-themed mission
  • Tours of NASA facilities

Benefits for students:

  • Potential to earn a half- or full-credit for science
  • Overnight invitation to Texas A&M University College of Engineering
  • Field trips to local Texas A&M University System campuses
  • Those who successfully complete the program receive $1000 scholarships upon high school graduation

Interested students must:
