Sam Ryals STEM Scholarship

In honor of our long time NDIA colleague Sam Ryals (1952-2022), the NDIA Wright Brothers Chapter has designated a scholarship in his name. The goal of the Sam Ryals STEM Scholarship is to assist in preparing young people in the Dayton region for STEM careers.

The Program awards a $1,000 scholarship to at least two selected recipients each year. Each year, applications are accepted through May 1st, with selection decisions announced in June. 

Email cassie.barlow@soche.org with NDIA Scholarship in subject line to receive details and application.
