Astronomy/Astrophysics Summer Program?

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>I'm looking to major in astrophysics in college, and am interested in participating in a summer program. I live in Southern Florida--anything close to home makes it easier.</p>

<p>I already looked at programs on the NASA website, but barely any are in Florida. Of the ones that are, very few have to do with astronomy/astrophysics, and I have to live in a 50-mile radius of the center (which I don't) and be able to provide of my own transportation.</p>

<p>I don't have any money trees growing in my backyard, so preferrably something affordable or where there is a scholarship opportunity available.</p>

<p>Also, are there any separate scholarship competitions that I could enter in? If I can, I need to earn scholarship money for college.</p>

<p>I am currently a female sophomore and am Hispanic (Dominican).</p>

<p>Thank you for any info, suggestions, or knowledge! :)</p>
