Scholarship offered to highschool students

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

High school students seeking scholarships often encounter limited options, primarily designed for college seniors. Many research programs attractive to aspiring scientists are financially prohibitive, leading to a need for accessible funding. The discussion highlights the scarcity of scholarships specifically for high school students and emphasizes the importance of early financial support for scientific pursuits. Additionally, the conversation explores the flexibility of physics fields, suggesting a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) as a foundational step before specializing in areas that combine physics, computer science, and engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of scholarship eligibility criteria for high school students
  • Familiarity with research programs in science and engineering
  • Basic knowledge of physics and its various fields
  • Awareness of academic pathways in higher education, particularly in STEM
NEXT STEPS
  • Research high school scholarship opportunities specifically for science programs
  • Explore undergraduate physics programs that offer interdisciplinary studies
  • Investigate funding options for research projects in high school
  • Learn about career paths in physics that integrate computer science and engineering
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for high school students interested in pursuing careers in science, particularly those seeking financial support for research programs, as well as individuals considering interdisciplinary studies in physics and computer science.

First off, I wanted to know if there are scholarships that can be utilized during high school. My curiosity is dirivitive (excuse my spelling...) from the fact that there are many excellent research programs that are highly attractive to the scientifically inclined youth in high school, BUT (ah, there is always a BUT) repel most of these aspiring scientists with the dreadful reality that they cannot afford it. I am one such "victum", if you will. I have researched the internet for high school scholarship opportunities, but they are either for college, seniors (because they're the only high schoolers that exist ) or expired .
Anyway, so if anyone knows of a scholarship offered to high school students please let me know.

Second question:
I have wanted to be a physicist for a *little over a million years* (pun intended..ha-ha-ha :blushing: ). Now I was wondering what field is the most flexible. I am interested in everything, but most particularly space, machines (not neccesarily building...I enjoy designing mechanical equipment) , math, and did I mention physics? I plan on one PhD in physics, another in computer science (because I LOVE writing programs and running simulations of really cool fun math stuff). So what's the best field of physics that incorperates these aspects?

Get a B.S. first. A B.S. is very general. AFTER that (so in another 4 years), you can start to have an idea about what you'd want to do.
