Scholarships
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Program is your launchpad to a degree in physics and astronomy! Submit your application by May 23.
What is the TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Program?
The TEAM-UP Together Scholarship Program launched in 2022 to help alleviate some of the financial barriers preventing some students from pursuing or completing physics and astronomy degrees.
By offering financial support to promising undergraduates, including those who face the starkest barriers, we seek to encourage more students to follow their passion for science.
Our scholarship program is generously funded by the Simons Foundation and Simons Foundation International and other TEAM-UP Together benefactors.

Who can apply?
We encourage undergraduate students who:
- Are pursuing a degree in physics or astronomy at an accredited US college or university. Students must be residing in the US.
- Are second semester freshmen or higher. Graduating seniors are not eligible to apply.
- Are in good academic standing with a minimum GPA of 2.0.
- Are students with financial need impacting academic progress.
- Demonstrate an understanding of issues related to enhancing access and opportunities for all students in physics and astronomy, including those who face systemic barriers.
What does the scholarship include?
Awardees receive up to $10,000 per academic year and may reapply in subsequent academic years. Scholarship funds may be used for expenses that assist students in continuing or completing their undergraduate education, including tuition, enrollment fees, books, supplies, or equipment required for courses.
Awardees become automatic members of the national Society of Physics Students and gain access to professional development opportunities, mentoring, training, conference travel funding, and more through the TEAM-UP Together community.
