Mission and Purpose

Space to Succeed exists to make opportunities in astronomy, physics, planetary science, and the broader space community easier for students to find and navigate. My goal is to put useful information in one place. That includes REUs, internships, scholarships, fellowships, graduate school resources, networking advice, application guidance, and student experiences that show what these opportunities are actually like.

Space to Succeed also highlights the many different ways people can build a career connected to space. There is no single major or path that gets you there. Through student features, interviews, and resources, I want students to see the range of people working across astronomy, geology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and other fields and understand how their own skills and interests can fit into that space.

Looking ahead, I want Space to Succeed to grow beyond an online resource. My goal is to create more opportunities for students to directly experience the space science community, whether through scholarships, campus and laboratory visits, conference opportunities, mentorship, or other programs that help students explore where they could fit within the field.
