Montana Aerospace Scholars Junior Program

The Montana Aerospace Scholars Junior Program is designed for Montana high school juniors and offers a comprehensive space science learning experience divided into two phases. Phase One is an online course available from November to April, allowing students to earn college credits from the University of Washington. Scholars who complete the online course are invited to a six-day summer residency at Montana Learning Center, where they collaborate with aerospace experts in designing a human mission to Mars. This immersive program encourages participation in STEM fields through direct engagement with scientists and educators, practical engineering tasks, and access to a national alumni community that provides further career and educational opportunities.
