Scholarship offered to highschool students

[Imparcticle]

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 :grumpy: ) 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 ). 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.

As a fellow scientist, I completely understand your frustration with the lack of scholarship opportunities for high school students interested in research programs. However, I am happy to inform you that there are indeed scholarships available for high school students interested in pursuing scientific research.

One option is to look into summer research programs offered by universities, which often provide scholarships or financial aid for high school students to participate. Another option is to check with local organizations or businesses in your community that offer scholarships for students interested in STEM fields.

In terms of the most flexible field of physics, that really depends on your specific interests and goals. However, I would suggest looking into interdisciplinary fields such as astrophysics, which combines physics, space, and math, or engineering physics, which incorporates mechanical design and computer science with physics principles.

Ultimately, the best field for you will be one that aligns with your passions and allows you to pursue your diverse interests. I encourage you to continue exploring different fields and speaking with professionals in those fields to gain a better understanding of which one may be the best fit for you. Good luck in your academic journey!
