In June 2022, the TEAM-UP Together Lead Partners – the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT), American Astronomical Society (AAS), American Institute of Physics (AIP), American Physical Society (APS), and the Society of Physics Students (SPS) – launched a scholarship to help address financial barriers to African American students earning their bachelor’s degrees in physics and astronomy.
For 2023, we doubled the number of scholarships awarded last year and selected 62 dynamic students who are making great strides in their physics and astronomy programs and who are on track to earn their degrees with TEAM-UP Together Scholarship support.
Meet the TEAM-UP Together scholars below and learn a bit about how they intend to benefit society with their physics or astronomy education.
