Kenzie Edwards, Mentee of TESA Founder Diallo Wallace, Awarded Full Scholarship to Space Camp

We are proud to announce that Kenzie Edwards, a mentee of TESA founder Diallo Wallace, has been selected to receive a full tuition scholarship to attend Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama this summer!

The scholarship covers camp tuition, lodging, and meals for a full weekly session running from late May through August 2026.

A Passion for Space

Kenzie's enthusiasm for aerospace has been evident since day one. Whether she's rocking her NASA gear, exploring an observatory, or meeting real astronauts, her curiosity and dedication to learning about space are an inspiration to everyone around her.

She's already had some unforgettable experiences — including meeting NASA astronaut Kayla Barron, who flew to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX Crew-3 in 2021.

What's Next

This summer, Kenzie will join campers from around the world for a hands-on immersive experience at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center — home of Space Camp, Aviation Challenge, and the Saturn V rocket. She'll train on simulators, work in teams on missions, and gain real-world STEM skills that will fuel her aerospace dreams.

Supporting the Next Generation

Scholarships like these are at the heart of TESA's mission. Every student deserves the opportunity to explore their passion for aerospace, regardless of financial barriers. Kenzie's scholarship is a testament to what becomes possible when dedicated mentorship and education come together.
