AIAA Foundation is actively welcoming applications from talented students for its outstanding undergraduate scholarships. These scholarships are currently available for the academic year of 2020-2021. This year, the foundation has brought up to twelve scholarships for undergraduate students. These funding programs are aimed at supporting and nurturing future aerospace professionals who hold the potential to give their best in this field. College sophomores, juniors, and seniors can participate in AIAA Foundation’s Undergraduate Programs. Applicants should be AIAA student members.
Selected participants can apply for renewing their scholarship annually until they complete their undergraduate program. AIAA Foundation understands that there is a need for bright-minded and dedicated people in the aerospace industry. That is why it brings such funding programs each year that help students gain right and quality education so that they can serve in the aerospace industry in the future. Earning higher education in the field of aerospace costs a large amount of money that a financially unprivileged student cannot afford. With the help of these programs, students can accomplish their goal of getting an education in this field without having a financial burden.
AIAA Foundation came into existence in 1996 and is a not for profit educational organization offering unlimited resources to support students and educators at both the K-12 and university level. The opportunities that this foundation has to offer are classroom grants and hands-on activities, college scholarships, design competitions, student conferences and recognition awards. AIAA is working toward its mission of inspiring and supporting the next generation of aerospace professionals.
