AEA Announces 2023-24 Scholarship Winners

Investing in Aviation’s Future

The Aircraft Electronics Association's (AEA) Educational Foundation has announced the names of the individuals awarded scholarships for the 2023-24 academic year.

The AEA Educational Foundation annually awards scholarships to students pursuing careers in avionics or aircraft maintenance, as well as students from AEA member companies. The Foundation was created in 1990 to enhance, promote, and secure the future of aviation maintenance by furthering the education of students, technicians, members of the AEA, and others as determined by aviation industry needs.

New scholarships awarded in 2023 include the Kevin Miesbach Memorial Scholarship and the Susan T. Friedle Scholarship.

Also awarded for the first time was the Susan T. Friedle Scholarship—named in honor of CE Avionics’s co-founder. An instrument and multi-engine-rated Private Pilot, Friedle’s familiarity with aviation and avionics significantly benefited her company and its customers.

Since its inception, the AEA has awarded more than $1.5-million in scholarships. Individuals interested in applying for the Association’s 2024-’25 academic year scholarships may download applications for such after 01 October 2023 at: aea.net/scholarship.

Founded in 1957 to educate, communicate, and advocate for businesses engaged in the manufacture, support, and installation of aircraft electrical components and avionics, the Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA) represents nearly 1,300 member companies in more than forty countries.
