Scholarship offered to highschool students

AI Thread Summary
The discussion primarily revolves around the search for scholarships available to high school students, particularly for those interested in scientific research programs. Many aspiring scientists face financial barriers, as most scholarships are targeted at college seniors or have expired. Participants express a need for accessible funding options to support high school students in pursuing their scientific interests. Additionally, there is an inquiry about the most flexible field within physics that aligns with interests in space, mechanical design, mathematics, and computer science. The consensus suggests starting with a Bachelor of Science degree, which offers a broad foundation before specializing further in graduate studies. This approach allows students to explore various aspects of physics and related fields before committing to a specific path.

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.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
