PAMA coordinates scholarships from the association and industry partners to help aviation-maintenance students enter the workforce. Because the award mix changes, applicants should review the current portfolio for tool, tuition, training, and cash opportunities.
Who can apply
Applicants generally must be U.S. legal residents, PAMA members, and current students or recent graduates of an FAA Part 147 aviation-maintenance program. Individual sponsored awards may add requirements.
What the award may cover
The annual portfolio can include tuition or education-expense assistance, professional tools, technical training, and cash awards. The 2026 announcement included two $1,000 Jack D. Prewitt awards.

Complete the annual PAMA application and provide the requested school, residency, membership, academic, recommendation, and career-goal materials.
- Verify the current deadline and every eligibility requirement.
- Confirm how funds are paid and when they must be used.
- Prepare transcripts, certificates, logbook totals, references, and essays early.
- Save the confirmation and a complete copy of your submission.
