The Bahls Endowed Funds

A very generous endowment was听given to CCAR by CU alum and longtime Boeing astrodynamicist, Daryl Bahls.听Daryl attended the new building groundbreaking ceremony on Oct 26th听and on that same day, signed the official paperwork putting in play the opportunity for CU Aerospace students in the BAM () program听pursuing an emphasis in astrodynamics and space mission design to become Bahls Scholars. Daryl鈥檚 generous endowment will support student travel awards to broaden and improve their technical communication skills as well as a select few students鈥 tuition, books and fees.

Daryl got the chance to meet several faculty during his visit and he hopes to remain in contact with CCAR over the coming years to assist students and to meet his vision of providing a rewarding student experience through his endowment.听 Feel free to reach out to Daryl and make a connection.

The Bahls Endowed Funds

The intent of the Bahls Endowed Funds is to reward and foster technical excellence in the field of space mission design 鈥 explicitly in the areas of astrodynamics and space mission analysis. This endowment will provide a significant portion (up to 100%) of the cost of a student鈥檚 tuition, books, fees and supplies in the pursuit of a BAM (Bachelor's-Accelerated Master's)听program in Aerospace Engineering Sciences, with an emphasis in space mission design. It is the intent that these scholarship awards be a BAM program commitment. This page will be updated once applications are being accepted.听 We do not currently have a time frame for acceptance.听Eligible students are those enrolled in the BAM program of the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the 精品SM在线影片.

Qualifying students must have:

  • The equivalent of a 3.50 (B+), or higher, grade point average (GPA)
  • 听have shown an interest in space mission design.

This interest shall have been demonstrated by:

  1. 听Completion of significant prior coursework specifically relevant to space mission analysis
  2. An expressed interest in earning a Certificate in Astrodynamics and Satellite Navigation. Scholarship recipients shall be called 鈥淏ahls Scholars.鈥 Among qualifying students, the Committee may give additional consideration to those who have the greatest financial need.

The Bahls Endowed Funds 鈥 Travel Award

This award is intended to allow Bahls Scholars the opportunity to broaden and improve their technical
communication skills. They will do this by using these funds to attend space mission analysis or astrodynamics-related conferences. There they will observe presentations and presentation styles and present the results of their own studies, investigations and research.
