Portland Aerospace Scholarship
Aerospace is the industry of the future, offering many exciting opportunities to the next generation of students.
Unfortunately, fields like aerospace are notoriously difficult for students to access. Many young people, especially women and minorities, aren’t encouraged to pursue STEM fields or may not have access to advanced science classes, clubs, or programs due to socioeconomic status.
