The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center and its philanthropic partner, Touch the Future Inc., are searching for this year's candidates of the annual Alex Higgins Space Camp Scholarship. The scholarship covers the cost of tuition to Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala., where participants are immersed in simulated air and space training.
The deadline for submitting applications is March 31 and is open to New Hampshire residents between the ages of 7 and 18. Recipients are selected on the basis of essays, report cards and recommendations. The Alex Higgins Scholarship Fund covers the full cost of tuition but does not cover transportation to Alabama. The winners will be recognized during the Discovery Center's Aerospacefest on May 5.
