(July 10) – Fish & Richardson announced late last week that the firm has awarded full scholarships to three Dallas middle school students from the Oliver Wendell Holmes Academy to attend the U.S. Space & Rocket Center Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama this summer.
Fish launched the Space Camp Scholarship program in 1999 to get middle school students excited about the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The firm has sent nearly 500 students on full scholarship since the program’s inception.
Fish associate Matt Colvin leads the program in Dallas. He worked with a group of his colleagues to select the scholarship winners based on a written application and an in-person interview.
This year’s winners include Azyria Cannon, Semyah Douglas and Amy Estrada. They will spend six days at Space Camp experiencing simulated space shuttle missions, participating in programs on space exploration and learning about mission control.
“We are very proud of this program and the work we have been doing for nearly 20 years to foster young people’s interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM),” J. Kevin Gray, managing principal of Fish’s Dallas office, said in a statement.
