"These Highline students are among 225 talented juniors from across the state who have been accepted into the first phase of Washington Aerospace Scholars (WAS)," commented Rosie Bailer, coordinator, Washington Aerospace Scholars Program.
The students are currently participating in Phase One of WAS - a distance-learning program with a NASA-designed curriculum. Phase Two is a six-day summer residency experience for 160 students. Selection is competitive, based on performance in Phase One.
Please note: Certificated teachers are needed to serve as counselors for a team of ten scholars during the summer residency. Participating teachers will receive $500 stipends and are eligible for clock hours. Additional information and applications are available on the Museum of Flight website: www.museumofflight.org/washingtonaerospacescholars. Summer residency sessions for 2008 are scheduled for June 22-27, July 6-11, July 13-18, and July 20-25. The Counselor application deadline is Friday, March 14, 2008.
