The educational foundation of the American Association of Airport Executives has awarded $365,861 to 140 students for 2017, an increase of more than 40 percent from the $261,300 given in 2016. The AAAE Foundation has more than doubled its giving in the past three years.
Since 1989 the AAAE Foundation has provided more than $4.5 million in scholarships to more than 2,800 students.
“These impressive scholarship totals for 2017, made possible by increased financial support for the foundation and AAAE’s expanding business operations, show the value our members and partners place on investing in the next generation of talent for our industry and our nation,” said AAAE president and CEO Todd Hauptli.
