Choose Aerospace Scholarship Opening Soon
Offered by Choose Aerospace, Inc.
About This Scholarship
Choose Aerospace is a 501(c)(3) partnership of aerospace stakeholders — created alongside the Aviation Technician Education Council (ATEC) — that funds scholarships and awards for aviation maintenance students, instructors, and schools. In partnership with the SkillPointe Foundation and industry donors including Alaska Airlines, Republic Airways, NORDAM, and ARSA, the program provides cash scholarships of $2,500 applied directly toward tuition.
Beyond tuition money, the award pool includes substantial in-kind prizes: a Snap-on aviation tool box, a Sonic Tools intermediate aviation tool set (valued over $7,000), aviation maintenance and avionics textbook sets, and general familiarization course enrollments — the gear and materials AMT students actually need to finish training.
Anyone planning to attend or currently enrolled in an aviation technical program can apply, with priority consideration for students at ATEC member institutions. The next application cycle opens November 1, 2026.
