Wings Over America Scholarships
Wings Over America Scholarship Foundation annually sponsors 50 scholarships to further the postsecondary education of Navy dependents from the aviation community. Most scholarships are $5,000 and some are renewable.
Scholarships may be used for trade school certification, community college or four-year university/college undergraduate study and may be used for tuition only at an accredited institution.
If an applicant's tuition is fully covered by other scholarships from their institution, ROTC, or Post 9/11 Bill/Yellow Ribbon benefits, they are ineligible to receive a scholarship. Students attending service acadamies are also ineligible.
The recipient must accept the award for both fall and spring semesters.
If a recipient is planning on using Post 9/11 Benefits for one semester, then they must decline the scholarship.
