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 in 2012, providing students with a minimum of $1,000 scholarships.  These scholarships will be awarded at our 2012 Annual Conference.

We are very grateful for the support of our 2011 corporate Scholarship Sponsors who have each contributed at least one $500 scholarship to support a student enrolled in an aerospace program at a Pacific Northwest college.
