Student Leadership Scholarship Information and Application
I am pleased to announce the Air Marshal Association Foundation 2017 Student Leadership Scholarships, which reward and encourage emerging leaders from our extended Air Marshal family. I would also like to thank my colleague and Founding Chairman Mark Romanowski for his dedication and commitment to the AMA Foundation; I wish him well as he moves on to another agency and new responsibilities. We all recognize the importance of higher education and understand the ever-growing costs associated with such an investment. As parents, mentors and role models, we must encourage and develop emerging leaders capable of creating positive change through vision, courage and commitment. The AMA Foundation is dedicated to helping our future leaders achieve their educational goals. By supporting our posterity, we are investing in the future of this great nation. Fraternally, John A. Casaretti Founder and Chairman - AMA Foundation Founder and President - Air Marshal Association
