About this opportunity

GAMA’s scholarship page highlights two $2,000 opportunities supporting students committed to aviation degrees. One helps a graduating high-school senior begin an aviation program, while the partner ICAS Foundation award supports students who have already completed college coursework in an aviation major.

Who can apply

The Edward W. Stimpson Aviation Excellence Award is for a graduating U.S. high-school senior accepted into an aviation degree core program. The ICAS Foundation/GAMA Scholarship serves eligible students who have completed at least two semesters in an aviation-related declared major.

What the award may cover

The listed $2,000 awards support aviation-related college study, including professional pilot, maintenance or engineering, aviation business, and other qualifying degree programs.

How to apply

Use GAMA’s scholarship page to download the Stimpson application or follow the link to the ICAS Foundation application, then submit the award-specific academic and supporting materials.
