Two students from Alabama House District 18 – which includes Franklin County – will receive a full scholarship to Space Academy at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
Students ages 12-14 may apply for Space Academy for Leading Students in Alabama, a Space Camp program funded by the Alabama legislature. This program promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, along with leadership skills.
“I am excited to announce that two middle-school students who live in my House district will receive scholarships to attend a special Space Camp free of charge,” said Rep. Jamie Kiel. “I had the opportunity to attend Space Camp when I was in middle school, and it was a great experience for me. I would like to encourage all students to apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
