If you are an AMA member about to graduate high school, or currently earning a degree or trade certification, the AMA Foundation offers several different scholarships each year, and this year is no different!
Nearly $40,000 is made available for the AMA Scholarship program, and RIGHT NOW qualified students are eligible to receive up to $15,000 in financial aid for the academic year beginning in the fall of 2024! The application portal can be found here.
The basic criteria for consideration include:
- Up-to-date AMA membership for the past 36 months
- Graduating high school student in the Class of 2024 OR a currently enrolled post-secondary student (college, university, and trade school students are all eligible!)
- Actively participant in your community outside of model aviation
- Strong academic record
However, specific scholarships are available based on factors such as competitive performance, pursuit of a technical degree or certification, and recommendations from AMA club officers and leader members. You can read more about the different scholarships that are available here.
Best of luck with your application! Please feel free to reach out to the Education team at Education@modelaircraft.org if you have any questions or concerns about your eligibility or the application process.
Happy flying!
