The world’s first spaceline, Virgin Galactic and the Virgin Group’s not-for-profit Virgin Unite have come together to announce the Galactic Unite STEM Scholarship Program. Galactic Unite is a global initiative, driven by Virgin Galactic’s community of Future Astronaut customers, designed to inspire and support students as they seek answers to global challenges through science, technology, engineering and mathematics education (STEM) and business entrepreneurship.

The Galactic Unite Bytheway Scholarship program will provide $7,500 scholarship to first-year female college student pursuing STEM degrees at any accredited four-year college or university in the United States. The Galactic Unite Bytheway Scholarship will be awarded in September 2014. The award is renewable for four years. Candidates must be U.S. citizens.

“It is exciting to be able to partner with Virgin Unite to provide STEM scholarships to young women,” said Bytheway. “Some of the fastest growing and financially rewarding jobs in the US are in the STEM fields. While women make up more than 50% of the work force, they only comprise one quarter of the STEM jobs. The world needs inventive, intelligent women who can make a difference in STEM.”
