Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship

Financial need is part of how this award is decided, alongside merit.

Award

$1,500 as a one-time first-year award, usable within one year of selection.

Deadline

Set by each local Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. chapter; 2027 chapter deadlines not posted on the Foundation page

How to apply

Obtain and submit the application through the participating Tuskegee Airmen chapter nearest your residence. The foundation lists an official transcript, senior schedule, parental income proof, three recommendations, a one-page Tuskegee Airmen essay, a personal essay of at most two pages and activities list. Its tax-year examples are outdated; the local chapter’s new form must supply current instructions.

What you'll need

• A separate scholarship application

Who can apply

The foundation’s published rules describe spring high school graduates from accredited schools with at least a 3.0 GPA, entering full-time college study. They support aviation, aerospace, STEM and other disciplines, so those majors are not an exclusive requirement. Confirm the current rules and participating chapter before applying.

Good to know

Selection weighs academics, activities, relative financial need, recommendations and essays. A full-time enrollment verification is required after selection; pre-enrollment forms do not qualify. The award must be used within one year. Some application text still refers to 2015/2016 taxes and obsolete Form 1040 line numbers, so current chapter instructions need checking.
