EACH YEAR, THE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY WILL AWARD MORE THAN $325,000 THROUGH 44 NATIONAL LEVEL SCHOLARSHIPS. In 2021, the Redstone-Huntsville Chapter of AUSA will offer a new scholarship within the chapter footprint. We are delighted to join forces with the HUNTSVILLE ASSOCIATION of Small Businesses in Advanced technology (HASBAT) to broaden their existing scholarship program for college students. The Redstone-Huntsville chapter of AUSA’s scholarship will be awarded to a deserving high school student as they enter college with a focus on STEM.

Executive Vice President, Rhonda Sutton is chairing the committee for AUSA. “This new scholarship program offered by our chapter is launched in part due to the generous grant received by one of our community partners in 2020.  We are hoping to expand this program further in the coming years with the help of other Community Partners in our area. The current workforce is shorthanded when it comes to STEM professionals, We want to do our part to entice high school students to consider these fields of study. Our chapter currently recognizes and provide awards to students in schools with JROTC programs. Many of these same students will enter the military, choose a trade, or attend college. Specialized skills are part of every U.S. Army job.” stated Sutton. Details of the program along with requirements and deadlines may be found on the chapter website: https://www.ausa.org/chapters/redstone-huntsville-chapter
