ACES Scholarship Program

The Founders’ ACES (Achieving, Contributing, Engaging, Succeeding) Scholarship Program honors the memories of key individuals in the establishment and growth of the new Patuxent River Naval Air Museum and the Association.

The scholarships are awarded to students or prospective admitted students admitted in regionally accredited colleges, universities, or trade schools who are or intend to be preparing for careers in science, technology, engineering, or math majors with an emphasis on aviation, or for careers in trades related to the maintenance or operation of aircraft. Preference is given to students who express a commitment to and evidence of a pathway to Naval Aviation, either directly or through supportive organizations and contractors.

Each year, the careers and contributions of one or more individuals who have been key to the establishment and growth of the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum will be featured to serve as positive examples in the promotion and awarding of the scholarship.

The scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors or students currently enrolled in a program type referenced above. Support this program here:
