Each year, Vertical Flight Foundation (VFF) scholarships are awarded to college students enrolled in programs related to vertical lift engineering and demonstrating an interest in pursuing careers related to vertical flight technology. The Vertical Flight Foundation Master of Science (MS) Degree Scholarship will be awarded to an applicant who must be pursuing an eligible MS engineering degree. The applicant must have at least one term of university coursework toward their MS program after the awarding of scholarships. Students enrolled in a combined Master's/PhD program are eligible under the MS category if they have not yet passed their qualifying exams as of the application deadline in February 2026 and do not already hold a Master's (MS) degree. Applicants must submit at least one letter of recommendation from a professor who is familiar with their coursework and academic performance.
