In an exclusive interview with The Daily Tribune during the Bahrain International Airshow, U.S. Ambassador to Bahrain, His Excellency Steven C. Bondy, emphasized the transformative role of the Endeavour Scholarship program in strengthening U.S.-Bahrain relations and advancing Bahrain’s ambitions in space science.

Speaking about the scholarship, Ambassador Bondy described the program as an opportunity for Bahrain’s top students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to participate in NASA’s Space Camp. “This is the premier program in the United States,” Bondy said, noting that the program’s select participants are among Bahrain’s most talented and driven youth. He highlighted how the initiative nurtures young talent in STEM fields, opening doors for future careers and educational pursuits in science and aerospace.

Every two years, the Endeavour Scholarship sponsors four Bahraini students, enabling them to gain hands-on experience and mentorship from space science experts. Ambassador Bondy proudly referenced the latest group of selected students, announced at the airshow, who will join the program in 2025. “At a larger level, what this does is it brings the United States and Bahrain ever more close together, and it allows the United States of America to support Bahrain's own ambitions in space science,” he explained.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the program, Bondy called the Endeavour Scholarship “one of the most fun things we do,” a reflection of his pride in Bahrain’s rising generation of STEM innovators. As these students prepare for their journey to Space Camp, the partnership exemplifies the enduring and growing ties between Bahrain and the United States, united by a shared vision for scientific advancement and educational excellence.
