Lockheed Martin increases TARC prize with scholarship funds
Lockheed Martin increases TARC prize with scholarship funds
Lockheed Martin has made winning the Team America Rocketry Challenge pay off even more for the top finishers, adding $15,000 worth of scholarship money to the pot.
The extra prize will be split evenly among the top three finishers, an added draw for students to the world's largest rocket contest and careers in science and high technology, AIA President and CEO John Douglass said: “This contest is aimed at attracting young people to aerospace careers, and scholarship money is a great incentive” Douglass said: “Lockheed Martin has certainly stepped up to the plate with this extra incentive.”
AIA sponsors the contest along with the National Association of Rocketry. NASA, the Defence Department, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and 38 member companies are also supporting the contest this year.
