GE Aerospace-Reagan Workforce Readiness Scholarship

Coming early 2026, the GE Aerospace-Reagan Workforce Readiness Scholarship will support high school seniors pursuing technical and career-ready education pathways. This new program will award numerous scholarships annually over the next five years to high school seniors preparing to enter programs such as technical degrees, industry certifications, skilled-trade training, two-year degrees, and other workforce-aligned post-secondary programs. Twenty-five percent of all scholarships will be reserved for students from military households.

According to a recent study by the Aerospace Industries Association, 76 percent of companies face difficulty finding engineering talent and 56 percent report shortages in skilled manufacturing. 

This program builds on the longstanding, unique relationship between the Reagan Foundation and GE Aerospace which took root in the 1950s when Ronald Reagan was the host of General Electric Theater and traveled the nation as a company spokesperson. More recently, the organizations have partnered to honor the leadership legacy of President Reagan through the national GE-Reagan Foundation Scholarship Program, which supports high school seniors who also possess leadership, drive, integrity, and citizenship, and are pursuing degrees at four-year institutions.  

Eligible requirements and a link to the online application will be available in early 2026. View the press release.
