Attention, higher-education students: Don’t miss out on the
opportunity to compete for a combined $3,000 in educational scholarships. The
deadline for the 2020 Support
Scholarship Essay Contest is Sept. 15. The NAAA Support Committee will
award a $2,000 scholarship as top prize and Covington Aircraft Engines has
generously agreed to sponsor a $1,000 scholarship.
The theme for this year’s contest is “Why is
Agricultural Aviation Important?” The scholarship is not
restricted to pursuing a “flying career.” Any educational pursuit beyond high
school (at any age) is eligible. The competition is open to all NAAA members
and their family members.
Entrants must be a senior in high school or be registered in
higher education by the fall semester of 2020. Previous winners are not
eligible to compete. Submissions must be an essay of at least 1,500 words or a
5-minute multi-media presentation. Submissions should be sent as an email
attachment by Sept. 15 to information@agaviation.org.
More information about eligibility requirements, contest guidelines and sample
essays from past scholarship recipients are available online here.
