$10,000 Scholarships Available to Students AIAA is committed to shaping the future of aerospace and we provide over $100,000 in scholarships and graduate awards annually to students across the country to assist in their dreams of becoming leaders in their fields. To help students, AIAA also provides scholarships to high school seniors intending to pursue an engineering or scientific degree at a college or university. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is 31 December 2022. To view full eligibility requirements and application documents, visit the AIAA website. AIAA Lockheed Martin Marillyn Hewson Scholarship The AIAA Lockheed Martin Marillyn Hewson Scholarship was created in 2022 to encourage young women to study aerospace engineering and pursue a career in the aerospace defense industry. The scholarship is named for Marillyn Hewson, former chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corporation. She joined Lockheed Martin in 1983 as an industrial engineer. During her career she held leadership positions, including president and chief operating officer; executive vice president of Lockheed Martin’s Electronic Systems business area; president of Lockheed Martin Systems Integration; executive vice president of Global Sustainment for Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Made possible by donations from the Hewson Family Foundation and Lockheed Martin, the scholarship awards one $10,000 scholarship to a female high school senior and one female university student who are intending to or already pursuing an engineering major at a college or university in the United States or one of its territories. AIAA Roger W. Kahn Scholarship The Roger W. Kahn Scholarship was created to honor the memory of Roger Kahn (1907–1962) and his passion for aviation and entertainment. Kahn spent the latter part of his career at Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation as a test pilot and then managed the technical service and sales division. In the 1940s, Kahn was actively involved with the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences (one of the predecessor organizations of AIAA) and later served as its vice president. Kahn also was an accomplished jazz musician as early as the 1920s, composing songs often featured in stage productions and early films, as well as leading numerous orchestras. He became a recording artist for some of the first record labels including Victor, Brunswick, and Columbia. The scholarship recognizes the extraordinary potential of a student aspiring to become an engineering or science leader in the aerospace industry. Each year, AIAA awards up to four $10,000 Kahn scholarships to high school seniors. Scholarship Also Includes:
THE CHALLENGE
You get it. You’ve grasped an important scientific theory, concept or principle. Now can you share your insight? An inventive video can get across complex material that would take pages of text to communicate. To take part in the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, create a short video (1:30 – one minute and thirty seconds max) to explain a big idea in one of these fields:
The videos will be judged according to the following criteria:
The Society of Women Engineers is the world’s largest advocate and catalyst for change for women in engineering and technology. Join us on March 25 to see what a day in the life as an engineer looks like! Come see some of the engineering labs, private campus tours, and sitting in on college classes! It is free to all, but make sure to wear good shoes and dress for the Colorado weather! Free CSU Swag! This is a free event is free to all, but donations are appreciated!Named after William Hunt Eisenman, the first managing director of ASM International, the Eisenman Camp is the largest and most elaborate Materials Camp® sponsored by the ASM Materials Education Foundation each year. The Eisenman Materials Camp® is where the ASM Materials Education Foundation’s mission statement … to excite young people in materials, science and engineering careers … comes to life. Students work on several group projects and experiments throughout the week-long camp and are instructed by “Materials Mentors” — professional members of ASM International from a variety of scientific backgrounds and industries. Through research and experiments, students learn about materials science and how to operate distinctive and expensive laboratory equipment used in real-life materials science and engineering careers.

Engineering Innovation offers several different courses for high school students:
Course Overviews Explore Engineering Innovation (EEI), formerly called Engineering Innovation, is an exciting, college-level, summer program for motivated high school students with an aptitude in math and science and an interest in (or curiosity about) engineering. Students complete hands-on projects in a variety of engineering disciplines (civil, electrical/computer, chemical, materials, and mechanical) and learn to think and problem-solve like engineers. Participating students have the opportunity to earn Johns Hopkins University (JHU) credit. By applying their knowledge of math and science to labs and hands-on projects, the concepts they’ve learned in their high school classrooms are linked to real-world practice. Additionally, their confidence grows as they attend college-level lectures, solve problems, test theories and ultimately learn to think like engineers. Of our Engineering Innovation alumni, more than 80% have gone on to major in engineering or science. Biomedical Engineering Innovation (BMEI) is a fully online course offered year-round that introduces biomedical engineering concepts to high school students. Participants in this course model biological systems and design experiments to test their models and use engineering principles to solve design problems that are biological, physiological, and/or medical. Students will model human efficiency, the arm, and the cardiovascular system. They use the content they learned in high school math, physics, and biology to solve practical problems encountered in biomedical engineering. Overview Lockheed Martin launched the STEM Scholarship Program in 2018 as part of investment in the next generation of STEM talent. We are committed to providing access to pathways through education and into the STEM workforce for all students, particularly those from diverse backgrounds and communities historically underrepresented in STEM fields.Each year, the STEM Scholarship Program awards $10,000 to 200 recipients studying engineering or computer science at a 4-year college or university. Recipients may renew the scholarship up to three times for a total potential value of $40,000 per student. Eligibility Requirements Applicants to the Lockheed Martin STEM Scholarship Program must meet the following eligibility requirements:
