19ds agoThe Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children (SFIC), a partner of the Archdiocese of Newark, offered an extraordinary experience to six students to visit the Advanced Space Academy at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
The incoming high school seniors from archdiocesan Catholic schools had the summer of their lifetime after being chosen through a highly competitive process.
They were required to submit an application, academic transcripts, a teacher recommendation letter and an essay explaining the significance of STEM in their lives and career goals.
During the program, all students participated in advanced education, team building activities, building and launching rockets, piloting jet aircraft simulations and competing during a Mars mission simulation.
The six students selected were:
- Jadyra Amaya-Garcia, Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City
- Annalise De Leon, Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City
- Alejandro Diaz, Hudson Catholic Regional High School in Jersey City
- Isabella Hogan, Mother Seton Regional High School in Clark
- Chris Liivicota, Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange
- Mila Varela, St. Dominic Academy in Jersey City
