TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Recipients

Meet the dynamic undergraduates who were awarded TEAM-UP Together Scholarships in 2023 and 2024.

Eric Pierce

Physics, Virginia Union University

I have always been fascinated with space and how things work. Even back when I was a kid I always felt a sense of wonder for space.

Kristyn Spears

Physics, Georgia State University

I am most passionate about applying the numerous aspects of physics to real-life problems, specifically climate change and earth sustainability.

Markiece Givens

Physics and Computer Science, University of Nevada - Las Vegas

Quantum mechanics is the most interesting subject to me because of how complex and varied the subject is.

MaeLynne Schneider

Astrophysics, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

I want to be an innovator. With a good enough understanding of how the world works, I’ll be able to manipulate the laws of physics to benefit society.

Akilah Goldson

Physics and History, Sarah Lawrence College

I think it is chiefly important that we as scientists focus on showing ordinary people how the universe works in the most simple yet satisfying terms.

Amir Moore

Physics, Hampton University

I want to help discover new planets and solar systems.

Jaylon Lockett

Physics, Angelo State University

The pursuit of discovery is where my passion burns the brightest.

Nijai Dixon

Physics and Civil Engineering, Clark Atlanta University

My goal is to work in sustainable design and architecture and alternative renewable energy to provide better housing for lower income and minority communities.

Reidyn Wingate

Physics and Comparative Media Studies, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

By making some difficult topics seem more appealing and engaging, we might be able to get more people interested in pursuing physics and STEM in the future, and it’s not impossible to think that those people might change the world someday.
