On July 20, Wally Funk became the oldest person to fly in space, fulfilling a dream that she was denied 60 years ago because of her gender despite qualifying to be a NASA astronaut. Now Frito-Lay Variety Packs is looking to ensure a new generation of women won’t have to wait that long to reach for the stars.

Frito-Lay has launched a “Space for Her” scholarship fund that will spend $150,000 to send 50 girls from underrepresented communities to space camp over the next five years.
