The National Association of State Aviation Officials (NASAO) announced the names of three recipients for the 2022 Henry Ogrodzinski (“Henry O”) Scholarship. NASAO congratulates Ivy Adams of the University of Middle Tennessee State University (Henderson, TN), Joseph Sisle of Purdue University (Annapolis, MD) and Megan Ianni of Western Michigan University (Portage, MI) for receiving the 2022 Henry O Scholarship Award.
NASAO established the scholarship program in memory of Henry Ogrodzinski, who spent more than 17 years leading NASAO as its President/CEO (from 1996 – 2013) and dedicated his life to higher education and academic achievement in aviation and aerospace. The scholarship program resides under the NASAO Center for Aviation Research and Education, the non-profit arm of NASAO.
“We had a great pool of applicants for the Henry O scholarship this year. We hope these scholarships will assist students in their education as they continue to share a lifelong passion and dedication to the aviation industry,” said Mike McHugh, Chair of the NASAO Center for Aviation Research and Education and Aviation Education Coordinator of the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission.
NASAO President and CEO, Greg Pecoraro said, “Supporting the next generation of individuals seeking aviation careers continues to be a NASAO priority. The Henry O Scholarship Program is one effort by NASAO to accomplish that effort.”
