Bouillon believes awarding scholarships so that students are afforded the opportunity to purse long-term goals not only benefit the students, his or her family, but the aviation community for years to come.
MAMA is made up of members from across the Commonwealth, with a shared goal of promoting Aviation activities and services. Membership includes access to Airport Management Teams from nearly all 37 Public-Use Airports in Massachusetts, as well as Engineers, Project Managers, and Product Support Specialists.
MAMA will be awarding two (2) $2,000 scholarships. One scholarship will be awarded to a student pursuing a degree in Aviation Management and one will be awarded to a student seeking a degree in an aviation related field. If no applications are received from students seeking a degree in an aviation field outside of Aviation Management, then the second $2,000 scholarship will be awarded to another applicant seeking a degree in Aviation Management.
In order to be considered, the student must have:
1) A proven record of academic achievement, a strong potential to succeed in the future, and a demonstrated financial need.
2) Demonstrate potential and show progress toward becoming an aviation professional. Applicants must be a Massachusetts state resident and be enrolled, or accepted for enrollment, in an accredited aviation-related undergraduate program for the period covered by the scholarship.
The MAMA Crocker Snow Scholarship has been established to honor the memory of a true Massachusetts aviation pioneer. Born in Boston on February 26, 1905, he attended the first Massachusetts aviation gathering as a child, when he was taken to the 1910 Squantum Air Meet.
This meet offered a $10,000 Boston Globe prize for the individual who could successfully fly from Squantum to Boston Light in the outer harbor, and return. It was here that Crocker was bitten by the aviation bug!
