Chester Leoso, a student at the Leeward Community College in Honolulu, was accepted into the NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars programme from more than 5000 applicants.
Only 147 were selected with Leoso the only student admitted from Hawaiʻi.
Oklahoma State University is hosting the NCAS programme, which is being held virtually this year, and will provide scholars with the opportunity to network within NASA to potentially earn internships or related jobs.
