AAR awarded seven Foundation Scholarships to children of AAR team members for the 2026-2027 academic year.

Wood Dale, Illinois - AAR CORP., the leading parts, repair, and software platform in the aviation aftermarket, has awarded its Foundation Scholarships for the 2026-2027 academic year.

The AAR Foundation Scholarship supports the children of AAR team members in pursuing aviation- or aerospace-focused degrees.

This year, AAR awarded the scholarship to four new students, Ahmed El Gayli, Kody Brown, Oliver Glover, and Pablo Rodriguez, and continued investing in three returning students, Mason Tatone, Mauricio Ceren Angulo, and Thomas Talaga.

"Through my father's experience in the aviation industry, I have seen the vast opportunities, challenges, and rewards that the industry presents, which inspired me to pursue my own career in aviation," said scholarship recipient Oliver Glover, who will study at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "At school, I intend to immerse myself in learning beyond the curriculum to develop a broad understanding of the aviation industry as a whole."

"The aviation industry depends on talented, driven individuals who are passionate about innovation and excellence. We are proud to support these students as they pursue careers in aviation and aerospace, and we look forward to seeing the impact they will have on the future of our industry," said John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and CEO.
