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:
