One of the Strategic Goals for AirPower West is to assist the aviation community by presenting scholarships to people working on an aviation related Education.  This has been a focus of AirPower West since its inception in 1992.  The APW Scholarship program is designed to recognize and assist high school graduates and current college students who have demonstrated dedication and interest in pursuing aviation related careers. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and must either be attending or enrolled to attend a Colorado school with an aviation related program. Funds awarded through this scholarship program must be applied to tuition in an aviation related program and will be directly paid to the institution being attended on behalf of the scholarship winner. Funds shall not be used for flight training. The selection of scholarship recipients will be based on academic accomplishment, work experience, community and school activities, a personal application statement including the applicant’s career goals in aviation, and a personal interview. This program is funded by AirPower West members, and revenues gathered through AirPower West fundraising activities through the year.

The scholarship for 2011 has been awarded, but we hope to be awarding more than on in 2012, so stay tuned to this page for the 2012 press release, application, and other information.
