The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has helped graduating seniors achieve their dreams since 1970, with individual scholarships starting at $500 each year. This year, $49,500 was awarded to seven students. Student scholarships are awarded each year thanks to the generous support of AMA members and AMA Foundation donors across the country. AMA has awarded over $1.3 million in scholarships since founding the scholarship program.
Award designations are set by the AMA Scholarship Committee, which is made up of model aviation pilots and enthusiasts. The committee evaluates each application and ranks it based on GPA, community involvement, model flying experience, and model flying competition participation. AMA and its Foundation want to thank each family and organization that has contributed to the memorial scholarships, as well as the hundreds of other donors to the scholarship program. Without their generous contributions, these gifts would not be possible. AMA would like to congratulate the following students who have been selected this year to receive the Charles Hampson Grant Scholarship and other scholarships:
- Guha Ekambaram[D8]: $8,000 Charles H. Grant (CHG) Award + $5000 Telford Award + $5,000 Planesman Engineering Award
