Society of Flight Test Engineers Scholarship
The Society of Flight Test Engineers is a fraternity of engineers, whose principal
professional interest is the flight testing of aircraft and missiles. The objective
of the Society is the advancement of flight test engineering throughout the aircraft
industry by providing technical and fraternal communication among individuals, both
domestic and international, in the allied engineering fields of test operations, analysis,
instrumentation, and data systems. The Society's Long Island chapter has established
an endowment to provide undergraduate scholarship support to students enrolled in
programs in the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Stony Brook University.
The scholarship amount will depend on the yield of the endowment. (The scholarship
award for 23/24 is $1,000.)
