The NHA Scholarship Fund 2024- 2025

"Apply and Donate!"

Shipmates, greetings from the Scholarship Fund. We are in our 32nd year. Founded in 1993, over five hundred scholarships and over $1.5M have been awarded to eligible active-duty officer and enlisted personnel, and their family members - spouses, children, and grandchildren. Annually, a minimum of fifteen scholarships are awarded.

Vision: Provide a sound, growing fund base to incrementally increase the dollar value of the fifteen annual awards total to reach $75K ($5,000 each) by 2025 and for our members, be a premier scholarship choice in Naval Aviation in 5 years (2025)

Mission Statement: To award college scholarships to eligible members of the Naval Rotary Wing / Tilt Rotor Community and their families (USN, USMC, and USCG) to pursue their educational goals. Quite simply, to increase the amount of each scholarship to $5,000 and then sustain that growth.

Apply. We open online applications on 1 September 2024. All required documentation must be received by 31 January 2025. For more information please visit the Scholarship Fund Website at https://www.nhascholarshipfund.org.

Donate. In May 2024, we awarded 16 $4,500 Scholarships. In 2025, we intend to award a minimum of fifteen $5,000 scholarships. Fundraising Goal: $100k target: operating/ scholarships, investment growth, IT costs, admin. As you reflect on donating, please consider giving to our general memorial fund or establishing a new memorial or legacy fund (ex., NHASF general memorial fund, the HS-5 Night Dipper Memorial Fund, the H-53/Big Iron Fund, or the Magnum 445 Memorial) to preserve the legacy of our communities and remember the heroes who make up our proud Rotary Wing heritage.
