Scholarships and Grants
The WAMA Board is pleased to provide scholarship/grant opportunities to further the education of airport professionals, undergraduates in aviation management, airport internship programs and to encourage community aviation education. We encourage member airports to apply for these scholarship and grant opportunities, and to contact their local high schools and community organizations to let students and members of the public know about the career and community education opportunities through WAMA. The 2025 Scholarship/Grant cycle is now closed. Look for updates in early 2026, with applications typically due in March of each program year.

| Adrien Hagele, 2024 Intern at Auburn Municipal Airport
Adrien writes, "To be a part of meetings with the FAA, WAMA, AMPS and AAB were some of the most educational moments where I got to learn about issues airports face, behind the scenes of implementing changes and got to know and see the faces of others in the aviation community. In my role as an intern, I found myself working on projects like community engagement signs, Auburn Airport Day, updating chart supplements and even painting a compass rose with the local 99s chapter. These projects not only broadened my scope of aviation but also served as a reminder that I can do hard things. I learned that the best managers lead by example.... I learned how to do airfield checks and handle fuel.... I learned how to manage tasks while never wavering from giving tenants, visitors and the community the utmost customer service. Thank you WAMA for giving students an opportunity to learn from people in the industry and broaden our horizons." |
