Will Present A $2,000 Cash Award To A Graduating High School Senior

GAMA is now taking applications for its Edward W. Stimpson “Aviation Excellence” Scholarship Award, which comes with a $2,000 cash prize.

The scholarship is named for founder and past President of GAMA, Edward W. Stimpson. Given annually, the scholarship goes to a graduating high school senior who has been accepted to and will be enrolled in an aviation degree core program at a university or college of his or her choice. Applicants are judged on the basis of academic skills, extracurricular activities and an essay on what general aviation means to the student and how he or she plans to pursue a career in the general aviation industry.

An applicant must:
Be a current student at a U.S. high school, graduating in the spring of 2019;
Be accepted to and enrolling in an institution for an aviation-related degree program (e.g., flight training, aviation management, aerospace engineering, aviation maintenance); and
Have a 3.0 or better grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).

Applications are due by April 15, 2019.
