graduate The Foundation and the
Technical Committees of AIAA annually present separate graduate student
awards worth $5000 and $10,000. The winners may have an opportunity to
present their award-winning research at an AIAA Conference.
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Foundation, in conjunction with AIAA Technical Committees (TCs), is seeking applications for the AIAA Foundation Graduate Awards. These awards are intended for graduate-level students who indicate, by their approved department research, an interest in any of the areas listed. The purpose of this program is to provide awards to qualified students actively participating in these specific research endeavors as part of their graduate studies. These endeavors include master's or doctoral thesis research and master's (non-thesis option) research projects. propellants and combustion MARTIN SUMMERFIELD PROPELLANTS AND COMBUSTION GRADUATE AWARDFunding for this award is provided through individual memorial gifts (given after the death of Martin Summerfield) and the AIAA Foundation. Eligible applicants will be actively participating in research endeavors in propellants and combustion as part of their graduate studies. Official recognition will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentations Ceremony at the AIAA/SAE/ASME/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Recipients > guidance, navigation, and control GUIDANCE, NAVIGATION, AND CONTROL GRADUATE AWARD This program was instituted in 1998 by the AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee. Eligible applicants will be participating (or plan on future participation) in research endeavors that will impact one or more of the areas of guidance, navigation, and control as part of their graduate studies. Official recognition and presentation of the check to the recipient will be in conjunction with the Awards Presentation Ceremony at the AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Non-U.S. citizens are eligible to apply, as are students at non-U.S. schools. Past winners are ineligible for 3 years, after which they can apply again. air breathing propulsion GORDON C. OATES AIR BREATHING PROPULSION GRADUATE AWARDThis program was instituted in 1985 by the Air Breathing Propulsion Technical Committee in honor of Gordon C. Oates. Eligible applicants will be participating in research endeavors in air breathing propulsion as part of their graduate studies. Official recognition and presentation of the check to the recipient will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentation Ceremony at the AIAA/SAE/ASME/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Recipients > general aviation systems WILLIAM T. PIPER, SR. GENERAL AVIATION SYSTEMS GRADUATE AWARDFunding for this award is provided by endowment gifts from the Piper Aircraft Corporation and the W.T. Piper, Sr. Foundation, in the name of William T. Piper, Sr. combined with support from the General Aviation Systems Technical Committee and the AIAA Foundation. Eligible applicants will be actively participating in research endeavors in General Aviation as part of their graduate studies. Official recognition will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentations Ceremony at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Recipients > space engineering/space life sciences/space policy WILLY Z. SADEH GRADUATE STUDENT AWARD IN SPACE ENGINEERING AND SPACE SCIENCESFunding for this award is provided by endowment gifts from the Sadeh family, in combination with individual donations made in the name of Willy Z. Sadeh. Eligible applicants will be M.A., M.S. or Ph.D. students specializing in space-based research at any accredited college or university in the world. Students must be specializing in the broad areas of space engineering, space life sciences, or space policy. Official recognition will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentations Ceremony at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. Recipients > other air- or space- related topics ORVILLE AND WILBUR WRIGHT GRADUATE AWARDSThe AIAA Foundation Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate Awards have been established by the AIAA Evolution of Flight Campaign and the AIAA Foundation in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of powered flight. The Awards recognize the Wright brother’s aeronautical achievements and contributions to the evolution of flight. The AIAA Foundation Orville and Wilbur Wright Graduate Awards provide $10,000 awards bestowed annually to four graduate-level students participating in research endeavors as part of their engineering/science graduate studies. These endeavors include master’s or doctoral thesis research and master’s (non-thesis option) research projects. These awards are nonrenewable; that is, a selected candidate may receive the award only once. JOHN LELAND ATWOOD GRADUATE AWARD The John Leland Atwood Graduate Award is sponsored by endowments from Rockwell and Boeing North American, Inc. The Atwood Graduate Award memorializes John Leland "Lee" Atwood (1904-1999), former chief executive officer of Rockwell North American. Atwood, thought of by many as the "dean of aerospace,” was instrumental in the development of such landmark projects as the P-51, the F-100, the X-15, the B-1 bomber, and the Space Shuttle. Eligible applicants for the Atwood Graduate Award must be actively participating in research endeavors in one of the more than 65 specialty areas represented by AIAA Technical Committees. (Be sure to indicate on the application your chosen area of specialization.) Official recognition and presentation of the check to the recipient will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentations Ceremony at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Recipients > OPEN TOPIC GRADUATE AWARD In order to allow for the greatest possible flexibility in research, the AIAA Foundation has made available up to four (4) “non-designated” graduate awards. Eligible applicants must be actively participating in research endeavors in one of the more than 65 specialty areas represented by AIAA Technical Committees. (Be sure to indicate on the application your chosen area of specialization.) Official recognition and presentation of the check to the recipient will be made in conjunction with the Awards Presentations Ceremony at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. In addition, the AIAA Foundation will present the recipient with a special recognition plaque in honor of this award. Recipients > |
