Help Students Like Rachel Soar!

Meet Rachel, a dreamer who looks at the stars above her small town and feels at home, not small. Since the third grade, Rachel's dream has been to become the first person to set foot on Mars. But there's been a significant obstacle - her family couldn't afford to make her dream come true.

Thanks to compassionate individuals like you, Rachel attended our Space Adventure Camp, where she thrived among fellow passionate young minds.

Now, at 15, she's leveraging her camp experiences to chase her dreams and compete for a spot at MIT or the University of Hawaii at Mānoa.

Many students from low-income families lack access to quality science and math education, contributing to the United States ranking 7th in science literacy and 25th in math among developed nations.

Your support can change this narrative.

Join us in paving the way for a bright STEM future. Make your year-end gift to VASFA by December 31.
Together, let's turn dreams into reality!
