After graduating from Southeast Community College with a degree in electronics engineering technology, Kevin Miesbach began his 40-year career in aviation as an avionics installation technician with Lincoln Avionics in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Duncan Aviation purchased Lincoln Avionics shortly thereafter, and Kevin transitioned to Duncan as an avionics line and bench technician specializing in aircraft troubleshooting and bench repair of navigation and communications equipment.

Between 1985 and 2006, Kevin held positions at Duncan Aviation of avionics/instruments team leader, shop supervisor, assistant manager and manager. In 2016, Kevin was promoted to business development manager for component repairs.

Kevin had a strong technical skill set, was always willing to help, and he had an innate ability to communicate and build relationships with anyone he met. Everyone who knew Kevin always said he had a great laugh, sense of humor, and was always genuine and honest.

Personal and technical improvement was important to Kevin, and he logged over 500 training events during his career. Kevin understood the value of ongoing training and was steadfast in promoting AEA training opportunities to students, his team members and industry partners. Kevin led the development of Duncan Aviation-provided training at AEA regional and national events, and he participated on many industry and college boards. He received the AEA Member of the Year Award in 2020, and his knowledge and feedback were instrumental in the development of curriculum to properly prepare students for a career as an avionics technician.

The Kevin Miesbach Memorial Scholarship celebrates Kevin’s contribution to the avionics technician field and will continue to share his passion for the value that a career as an avionics technician has to offer.

The Science Talent Search (STS), the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors, was launched by the Society and Westinghouse in 1942.

Then and today, the competition seeks to identify the nation’s next generation of scientific leaders. The 40 STS finalists receive scholarships and a trip to Washington D.C. where they have an opportunity to interact with one another in addition to meeting prominent scientists and politicians.

Westinghouse sponsored the competition for the first 55 years, followed by Intel from 1998-2016. STS is currently sponsored by Regeneron as part of a 10-year, $100 million commitment to the Society. Today, nearly 2,000 high school seniors apply to Regeneron STS annually, competing for more than $3 million in awards, including a top prize of $250,000.

The Tuskegee Airmen, one of the most recognized and decorated groups to serve in the Army Air Corps during World War II, are now leading the fight for educational excellence. By providing scholarships for first-year students entering college, the Tuskegee Airmen remain active and engaged in one of today's most critical causes, bridging the gap between high school and post-secondary education.

Continuing a legacy of courage and commitment to issues of social justice and equality, the Tuskegee Airmen in 1978 created a fund aimed at providing scholarships for deserving students, the financially challenged, as well as the children of servicemen. These undergraduate scholarships serve to supplement the heavy financial burden of students entering college and are offered to African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, other ethnic minorities as well as other applicants without regard to race.

The scholarship fund, now named the Tuskegee Airmen Scholarship Foundation (TASF) has granted over 1,580 scholarships totaling over $2 million to help needy students pay for college. Each year the Foundation with the support of dedicated donors, government employees, corporations, and educational advocates, presents $1,500 scholarship awards to 40 students who instill the ideals, leadership and commitment as exemplified by the Tuskegee Airmen.

The Foundation places particular emphasis on students who will pursue careers in aviation, aerospace, and science technology, honoring the living and deceased members of the Tuskegee Airmen who overcame racial barriers to achieving their dreams of becoming pilots, aviators, as well as air and ground support personnel.

The Flying Musicians Association (FMA) Solo Program is a unique scholarship initiative designed by the Flying Musicians Association, an organization that blends the passions of music and aviation. This program specifically targets high school music students who have a strong desire to learn how to fly. Its main goal is to support these students on their journey to achieve a significant milestone in aviation: the completion of their first solo flight. This is a critical step for anyone aspiring to become a pilot, marking the transition from student to aviator, where they fly an aircraft alone for the first time without an instructor aboard.

The FMA Solo Program recognizes the parallels between the disciplines of music and aviation, particularly the dedication, practice, and precision required to excel in both fields. By leveraging the students' musical discipline, the program aims to foster their development as pilots, underlining the belief that skills honed in music can be effectively translated into flying.

Selected students are provided with scholarships that cover aspects of their flight training up to and including their first solo flight. This financial support is crucial, as it opens up opportunities for young aviators who might otherwise be unable to afford the costs associated with flight training. Beyond the financial aspect, scholarship recipients become part of a community that shares their dual interests in music and aviation, offering networking opportunities, mentorship, and support from like-minded individuals.

Frank Der Yuen was an internationally respected aeronautical engineer, airline executive, and consultant. A graduate of Harvard and MIT, he designed the all-weather, self-propelled passenger loading bridges for airliners that are used in every major airport. Mr. Der Yuen served as Executive Director of the Honolulu Airlines Committee, and vice president of Aloha Airlines. He was one of the designers of the Daniel K. Inouye (Honolulu) International Airport, and helped create Pacific Aerospace Museum once housed there.

The Frank Der Yuen Aviation Scholarship honors the aviation legacy of Frank Der Yuen. It is a competitive program that supports Hawaii residents who want to pursue aviation-related education and training. Financial grants of at least $1,000 are awarded each year to Hawaii residents who have been accepted, or are enrolled, in an aviation-related program at an accredited trade school, college, or university. Awards will be made without regard to gender, race, religion, or national origin.

Residency and Enrollment: Applicants must be U.S. citizens and enrolled in a full-time undergraduate program at a WSGC member institution in Wisconsin. They must demonstrate a strong commitment to a career in space science or aerospace.
Academic Performance: A minimum grade point average (GPA) is often required, demonstrating the applicant's strong academic performance and potential for success in their chosen space-related field.
Field of Study: The scholarship is open to students across various disciplines, provided their course of study is relevant to space science or aerospace. This includes, but is not limited to, engineering, physics, astronomy, and earth science.
Research and Involvement: Preference may be given to students actively participating in research or projects related to space or aerospace. Applicants might need to describe their research or project involvement in their application.

Research awards will be provided to qualified undergraduate students to create and implement a small research study of their own design that is directly related to their interests and career objectives in STEM-related studies supporting NASA Mission Directorates. The student may work alone or with a faculty or research staff advisor; however, the conceptualization and design of the project should be their own. Awards will emphasize effective student research and mentoring arrangements. Students from small colleges and universities, and from departments with newly developing space research infrastructure, are especially encouraged to apply. WSGC will facilitate mentoring arrangements if necessary.
