INVITING YOU TO EXPERIENCE OUR EVENTS
EXCLUSIVE EVENTS
The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation has planned a line of exclusive events for 2026 which provides intimate gatherings for space enthusiasts where they are able to get up close and personal with our guest astronauts.
Each event features exclusive commemorative items and access to private, behind-the-scenes tours, making for unforgettable moments and lasting memories—whether you’re a lifelong admirer of space exploration or newly inspired by its wonders.
EXPERIENCE WASHINGTON, D.C. WITH CHARLIE DUKE
Join us for the final ASF exclusive event with Charlie Duke. Spend two days visiting historic landmarks in Washington, D.C.; listening to Charlie’s stories, hearing his take on the current and future space programs. As one of four living Moonwalkers, this is a unique experience that will never occur again through ASF.
A very special thanks to Ed and Wanda DeSeta for sponsoring and hosting this opportunity to support the ASF Scholar Award at The Citadel.
