The American Airlines Education Foundation is dedicated to supporting the educational aspirations of dependents of the airline’s team members, and this year has provided nearly $1 million in financial assistance to 336 students.
The annual scholarship program, as part of its ongoing efforts to invest in future leaders, awards $2,500 to eligible full-time undergraduate students at any accredited college, university or vocational program around the world. Additionally, 103 first-generation college students received an additional $1,000 to support their unique academic journey.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the 336 students receiving scholarships represented 10 countries. Recipients hail from the United States, the Bahamas, Canada, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru and the United Kingdom.
Applicants are evaluated on their academic achievement, community service, extracurricular activities and financial need. Nearly 1,400 students submitted applications to the competitive scholarship program. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year will be accepted beginning in January.
“We believe in the transformative power of education and are proud to support our community. We are honored to play a role in shaping brighter futures through education,” said Brady Byrnes, American’s Senior Vice President of Inflight and Premium Guest Services and President of the Education Foundation.
