The Wings Over America Scholarship Foundation annually sponsors a minimum of 50 scholarships to further the postsecondary education of Navy dependents from the aviation community. Scholarships are $5,000 and some are renewable. Scholarships may be used for trade school certification, community college or four-year university/college undergraduate study and may be used for tuition and mandatory fees only at an accredited institution. Recipients are selected on the basis of scholastic merit, community service, extra-curricular activities and character. All applicant's personal information is redacted to ensure a blind selection process. If an applicant's tuition and mandatory fees are fully covered by other scholarships from their institution, ROTC, or Post 9/11 Bill/Yellow Ribbon benefits, they are ineligible to receive a scholarship. Students attending service academies are also ineligible.
