If my child will be 9 before camp begins but will not yet have completed the 4th grade, is she eligible to apply for a Space Camp scholarship award?

A child will be eligible to apply for a Space Camp scholarship application if he or she will be 9 years old prior to camp. We do encourage applicants to wait until after completing the 4th grade, however. The Space Camp curriculum for children ages 9-11 assumes that a child has the equivalent of a 4th grade education before coming to camp.
