About the Astronaut Scholars Honor Society

The Astronaut Scholars Honor Society (ASHS) is the non-profit alumni organization for recipients of the Astronaut Scholarship. The Astronaut Scholarship is awarded by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) External Link and is granted to outstanding undergraduate and graduate level students in science and engineering at selected colleges and universities in the United States. Members of the Astronaut Scholars Honor Society are all current and past recipients of the Astronaut Scholarship.

The ASHS has been formed by the Astronaut Scholarship recipients (known as Astronaut Scholars) to be an organization through which they can work together to perform educational outreach services to younger students, challenge people of all ages to enhance their knowledge of technical subjects, and exchange information among themselves about research, inventions, and other technical topics to enhance career development and strengthen America's position in science and technology.

All Astronaut Scholars are also invited to attend our annual technical conference in which scholars present their current research or work activities.
