Scholarships

As part of our commitment to workforce development, PNAA has established a scholarship fund to assist students who wish to attend educational programs directly related to aerospace.  We have set an aggressive goal of raising and distributing $50,000 in scholarships, providing students with a minimum of $1,000 scholarships.  $25,000 in scholarships were awarded at PNAA'2 2013 Aerospace Conference.  Click here for more info to read the article.

We are very grateful for the support of our corporate Scholarship Donors who have each contributed at least one $500 scholarship to support a student enrolled in an aerospace program at a Pacific Northwest institution.
