In 1987, the AIRLANT Wives Club noticed a need for scholarships within our community. Through a variety of fundraisers, including bake sales and fashion shows, they gave away their first scholarships. In the 37 years since, the Foundation has experienced amazing growth in scope and breadth.
Today, through the work of our fantastic volunteers, Board of Directors, and staff, our foundation has awarded over $3,200,000 to worthy students in almost every state and several overseas bases.
Our scholarships include community college, trade & technical school as well as traditional college scholarships. We have annual and renewable scholarships and administer scholarships for other naval aviation groups.
Recipients are selected on the basis of scholastic merit, community service, extra-curricular activities and character. All personal information is redacted to ensure a blind selection process.
