Polly T. Lucas
Educator Scholarship
Polly T. Lucas was a double major in chemistry and mathematics, a professional educator early in her life, and maintained a lifelong interest in stimulating rising generations in the study of science disciplines. Her husband, Dr. William “Bill” Lucas says, “I could think of no better way to honor her memory nor to continue her interest in influencing young minds to the study of science and technology, than by participating in the continuing education of teachers through an endowed Space Academy for Educators scholarship.”
