Christa McAuliffe Scholarship Foundation Endowment Fund

Established in 1993

The Christa McAuliffe Scholarship Foundation of York County was established following the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in which Christa McAuliffe, the first teacher in space, was killed. Supported by public school teachers, administrators, and the community, the McAuliffe Foundation provides scholarships to high school seniors pursuing a career in education.
