National Fellowship Program

The Fellowship Program

Air Force Association members and chapters can designate a special fellowship in honor of significant contributions of individuals to the advancement or understanding of aerospace power through donations to support Aerospace Education Foundation programs.

H. H. Arnold Fellowship - $5,000 contribution

Established in 2003 to honor General H. (Hap) Arnold and his leadership in the formation of both the Air Force and the Air Force Association. In the summer of 1945, Arnold was focused on the three million AAF veterans who would be returning to civilian life and began laying the groundwork for an organization that would not only “keep the gang together,” as he put it, but also work effectively on

behalf of airpower. Being named an Arnold Fellow honors those with the same spirit of support for those who serve.

General Bernard A. Schriever Fellow - $2500 contribution

Established in 2000 to honor General Schriever and other leaders who, like General Schriever, have created an Air Force Space Program that is second to none in the world. General Schriever—regarded by most historians as the father of the Air Force’s missile and space program—gave his all to the space race and, through his personal example and leadership, inspired generations of military leaders, as well as their civilian counterparts. The honoree receives a certificate and a Lucite award containing a minted coin honoring General Schriever.

Jimmy Doolittle Educational Fellow - $1,000 contribution

Established in 1974 to honor those who, in the same spirit as the late General Jimmy Doolittle, actively promote public understanding and support for aerospace power. The honoree receives a personalized certificate and a walnut plaque, which houses a specially minted coin honoring General Doolittle.

 Ira Eaker Historical Fellow - $1,000 contribution

Established in 1981 to honor General Ira C. Eaker and his leadership in inspiring widespread appreciation of the significance of our vital aerospace history, and its role in our national security and the contributions our aerospace achievements have made to the betterment of mankind. Being named an Eaker Fellow honors those who have the same spirit of promoting aerospace power. The honoree

receives a personalized certificate and a lucite pyramid containing a minted coin honoring General Eaker.
