Celebrating 21 Outstanding Students and Investing $175,000 in the Future of Aviation and Aerospace

The Aero Club of Southern California proudly awarded $175,000 in scholarships to 21 outstanding students during its Annual Scholarship Award Dinner on June 26, 2026, held at Da Vinci Schools in El Segundo.


The evening celebrated the next generation of aviation, aerospace, engineering, and STEM professionals while bringing together Aero Club members, scholarship recipients, their families, donors, and supporters.


Each student had the opportunity to share their educational goals and career aspirations. Their passion, talent, and dedication made it clear that the future of aerospace is in excellent hands. The recipients were incredibly appreciative of the recognition and support provided through the Aero Club's scholarship program.


The Aero Club extends its sincere thanks to everyone who helped make the evening such a success. Special appreciation goes to Jessi for creating a beautiful venue, and to Suzanne and Julie for serving as outstanding presenters throughout the program. We also thank our volunteers, donors, members, and everyone who attended to support these remarkable students.


Congratulations to all 21 scholarship recipients. We look forward to following their achievements and welcoming everyone back next year for another inspiring evening.
