As a Manx company, ManSat offers a range of Community Social Responsibility programmes for Isle of Man students to study at home and abroad, including High School and Postgraduate opportunities.
We award Scholarships to study in Houston with the United Space School, to participate in the Conrad Challenge entrepreneurial competition, and to attend Postgraduate courses at the International Space University.
UNITED SPACE SCHOOL COMPETITION
In cooperation with the Department of Education, Sport and Culture, ManSat sponsors scholarships for up to three Isle of Man Year 12/Lower Sixth students to attend the United Space School in Houston, Texas.
The 2027 session will be held 18 July - 2 August.
The scholarships are awarded to the winners of an Island-wide essay competition. Essay questions for this year's competition have been advised to all Isle of Man high schools.
The essay questions for the 2026/2027 competition are as follows:
1. Why are you interested in space, and why would you be a good representative
of the Isle of Man at Space School?
2. How do you think the Isle of Man can contribute to the future of the global space sector
and space exploration?
3. Identify three major challenges involved in establishing a sustained human presence on
the Moon. How do you think current and emerging technologies could be used
to overcome these challenges?
The answers to each question should be between 500 and 1000 words in length.
All three questions must be answered.
For more information, interested students should contact their head teacher
