2022 Support Scholarship Contest Entries Due Sept. 15
The deadline for the 2022 Support Scholarship 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.
As it was in 2021, the theme for this year’s contest is “What role does ag aviation play in producing a local commodity?”
The 2022 Support Scholarship Contest
is open to any individual who is sponsored by an NAAA member. The
scholarship is not restricted to individuals pursuing a “flying career”
and can be used toward any educational pursuit beyond high school (at
any age).
Entrants must be a senior in high school or be registered in higher education by the fall semester of 2022. Previous winners are not eligible to compete. Submissions must be an essay of at least 1,500 words or a 5-minute multimedia 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 here.
