The Aero Club of Southern California is excited to announce the return of our Scholarship Award Dinner on June 26, 2026, celebrating the next generation of aerospace and aviation leaders.
Each year, this special evening brings together the aerospace and aviation community to recognize outstanding students pursuing their dreams across multiple pathways in aviation and aerospace, including:
âī¸ High School Students beginning their journeys through STEM programs, aviation education, and flight training
đ University Students advancing in aerospace engineering, aviation management, maintenance, and related fields
đŠī¸ Private Pilot Students earning their wings and working toward careers in aviation
More than an awards ceremony, the Scholarship Award Dinner is a celebration of achievement, mentorship, dedication, and the continued growth of the future aerospace workforce. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, donors, and members, ACSC scholarships continue changing lives and helping students pursue their dreams of flight.
The 2026 event builds on the success of the 2025 Scholarship Awards Dinner at the Flight Path Museum & Learning Center, where the Aero Club awarded a record $210,000 in scholarships to 20 exceptional high school and university students, as well as educators dedicated to aerospace and aviation.
A special thank you again to the generous sponsors who made the 2025 scholarships possible, including HEICO, Gary Burdorf & Helicopter Technology Company, Sierra Nevada Corporation, the Marsha Toy Scholarship Endowment, all of the Howard Hughes Memorial Award sponsors and attendees, and General Atomics, who provided $30,000 university scholarships to both Sean Kerry and Darby Dermanoski.
We look forward to gathering once again with our members, partners, families, sponsors, and supporters for another inspiring evening recognizing excellence in aerospace and aviation education and training.
